Joe Keery, best known for his role in Stranger Things, brought his musical alter ego DJO to the UK for the first time, launching his Back on You World Tour with a dazzling debut at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse. The sold-out crowd was treated to a hypnotic blend of retro synth-pop and psych-rock, with Keery commanding the stage like a seasoned frontman. Tracks like “End of Beginning” and “Charlie’s Garden” pulsed with emotional resonance, amplified by a stunning light show that mirrored the dreamy surrealism of his sound. His first musical outing on European soil, left fans eager for what’s next on this electrifying new chapter of his career – and I for one don’t think it’ll be long before he returns to play even bigger venues across Europe.
