Joe Keery brings Djo to Artpark on Thursday, July 23, 2026 for one of only six headlining performances scheduled during a summer otherwise spent opening for Tame Impala. The Lewiston date sits between arena support slots, which means the Niagara County crowd gets the version of this show calibrated for a headliner with full production time — a meaningful distinction for an act whose live identity is still taking shape in front of audiences who, until very recently, knew him from somewhere else entirely.
About Djo
The Djo project began as a side door for Keery, the actor better known to Netflix audiences as Stranger Things’ Steve Harrington. He cut his teeth in Chicago psych-pop band Post Animal before releasing his debut Twenty Twenty in 2019. The breakthrough came years later: “End of the Beginning,” a quiet album cut from 2022’s DECIDE, detonated on TikTok in 2024 and became one of the year’s most unavoidable streaming hits — the kind of viral moment that retroactively turns a side project into a headline act. The Crux, released April 4, 2025 on AWAL, is the album Keery made knowing people were finally listening. It is denser and more confident than anything he produced under the Djo name before, which is the right response to that kind of attention.
Pond, the Perth, Australia psych-rock outfit with deep personnel ties to Tame Impala, opens. The pairing isn’t random: Keery is touring as Kevin Parker’s support act this summer, and Pond and Tame Impala have shared members and creative orbits for the better part of two decades. Same scene, slightly different angle.
Artpark
Artpark’s outdoor amphitheater sits in Lewiston, a half-hour north of Buffalo, perched above the lower Niagara gorge — a natural backdrop most amphitheaters can only envy. The Western NY venue pulls a genuinely regional crowd from Buffalo, Rochester, Niagara Falls, and southern Ontario, and the lawn becomes its own social scene once the sun starts dropping behind the escarpment. Worth knowing before you pack: carry-in chairs are not permitted on the lawn, per venue policy.
