Joe Keery, widely recognized for playing Steve Harrington in Stranger Things, is also making waves as a musician under the name Djo. He is currently touring in support of his third studio album, The Crux, combining his passion for music with advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community.
Throughout his Another Bite Tour, Keery has committed to donating $1 from every ticket sold to The Ally Coalition (TAC). This organization focuses on supporting young LGBTQ+ individuals who face discrimination, providing vital resources and aid.
Founded by music producer Jack Antonoff and his sister, fashion designer Rachel Antonoff, TAC leverages the influence of music and fan communities to uplift LGBTQ+ youth. Their continued efforts have made a significant impact on these vulnerable groups.
“We had the privilege of speaking with @Djo before his last show of tour at The Greek Theatre in LA. Djo donated $1 per ticket sold to TAC on his Another Bite Tour in support of LGBTQ+ youth.”
While fans eagerly follow the evolution of Steve Harrington’s character (farewell to the iconic hair flip), Keery’s philanthropic gesture highlights his authentic commitment to meaningful social causes beyond his acting career.
Summary: Joe Keery uses his music tours to actively support LGBTQ+ youth, donating proceeds to The Ally Coalition and demonstrating sincere dedication to important social issues.
