No, you’re not in the Upside Down.
Djo — aka Joe Keery who plays Steve Harrington in “Stranger Things” — just announced he’s hitting the road from February through June on his ‘Back On You World Tour’ with his former band Post Animal serving as the special guest on all dates.
To close the U.S. leg of the global run, the 32-year-old singer-songwriter will play three consecutive gigs at Brooklyn Steel on Monday, May 5, Tuesday, May 6 and Wednesday, May 7.
The tour, which includes shows in New Zealand, Australia, North America and Europe, comes in support of Djo’s forthcoming third studio album “The Crux.” At the time of publication, the tongue-in-cheek lead single “Basic Being Basic” is available on all streaming platforms.
“More to come,” Keery shared on Instagram. “See you soon, finally.”

Djo new music
On Jan. 24, Djo dropped the lead single “Basic Being Basic” from his upcoming album “The Crux,” which is due out April 4.
Clocking in at 2:38, the track instantly grabs you with Keery’s disaffected spoken-word staccato before transitioning to a silky smooth, high-pitched chorus all while poking fun at the idea of, you guessed it, being basic.
“It’s kind of a shot fired to anyone who’s trying to be of the moment.”
If anything, the song is a departure from Djo’s earnest sound into something more akin to Talking Heads, Devo or The B-52’s. Needless to say, we loved it.

Post Animal
Keery’s former band — he played with them from 2014-19 — is joining him on the road for all non-festival dates on the multi-country trek.
For those unfamiliar with the group, Post Animal is a psych rock/prog pop act with a dreamlike sensibility and fun-loving streak. Think Tame Impala or King Gizzad and the Lizard Wizard and you’ll have an idea of their bombastic yet intimate sound.
If you’re hoping to do a deep dive ahead of the Djo show, a good place to start is their trippy “When I Get Home,” ethereal “Everywhere All At Once” and radio-friendly “Ralphie.”
Really you can’t go wrong with any track of theirs, though. The quintet does not disappoint.

“Stranger Things” Season Five
The final season of “Stranger Things” hits Netflix in either October or November 2025.
According to What’s On Netflix, it’s likely not all episodes will drop on the streaming service at once. Although not confirmed, rumors are circulating that the show is releasing the series’ swan song in multiple installments similar to what they did with Season Four back in summer 2022.
Huge artists on tour in 2025
Although no artist sounds quite like Djo — although Post Animal is close — here are five on the road this year that are similar enough that we think you’d enjoy catching them live.
• Wallows
• Finneas
