The Western New York summer concert season is heating up with a major addition to the Niagara Frontier’s cultural calendar. Actor and musician Joe Keery is set to bring his critically acclaimed musical project, DJO, to the Artpark Outdoor Amphitheater in Lewiston, N.Y., this July. Known for its stunning views of the Niagara Gorge, Artpark continues to solidify its reputation as a premier destination for local entertainment and world-class performances.
From Hawkins to the Global Charts: The Rise of DJO
While many fans first encountered Joe Keery as the charismatic Steve Harrington on Netflix’s Stranger Things, he has spent the last several years carving out a sophisticated niche in the indie-psych-pop world. Keery launched DJO in 2019, but it was in 2024 that the project reached a new stratosphere of fame. His track “End of Beginning” became a viral juggernaut on TikTok, propelling DJO into the global spotlight and proving that Keery’s musical talent stands firmly on its own merits.
A Psychedelic Evening with Pond
Enhancing the lineup for this mid-summer showcase is the opening act, Pond. Hailing from Perth, Australia, the psychedelic rock outfit is renowned for its high-energy live sets and experimental soundscapes. Having shared members with Tame Impala in the past, Pond brings a seasoned, international flair to the Lewiston stage, making this one of the most anticipated double bills of the season for music aficionados in the Buffalo-Niagara region.
