On Thursday night (December 4), the American singer-songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist played a show at Terminal 5, which followed a two-night stint at Brooklyn’s Paramount as part of his trek across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom in support of his latest record, ‘Baby‘.

While on stage his third and final show in NYC, the musician was joined by several collaborators, among them Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, who joined Dijon for a majority of the set.

Likewise, Nick Hakim then joined to play the piano, while Mk.gee played guitar on ‘coogie’, ‘Big Mike’s’, ‘HIGHER!’ and ‘Many Times’ before returning for an encore of ‘Rodeo Clown’.

It came after Dijon surprised fans once again at a Los Angeles gig earlier this year, where he played alongside Mk.gee and The 1975‘s Matty Healy.

Elsewhere, Dijon made his Saturday Night Live debut over the weekend (December 6), performing the first three tracks ‘Baby‘.

The SNL slot rounds off an impressive year for the musician, who worked on Justin Bieber‘s surprise comeback records ‘Swag‘ and ‘Swag II‘, as well as releasing his own LP with ‘Baby!’.

His work with Bieber also sees him nominated for Producer of the Year at next February’s Grammys.

Dijon’s ‘Baby!’ landed at 33 in NME‘s list of the 50 Best Albums of 2025, with an entry that read: “Between collaborations with Bon Iver, Justin Bieber and Paul Thomas Anderson, this year Dijon delivered his stunning second record, ‘Baby’. He pushes his signature production style – warm, tactile, as if you were right in the room with him – to its limits in service of frenzied transcendence. A spiritual experience.”

Meanwhile, his track ‘Automatic’ came in at 29 on our 50 Best Songs of 2025 list, which read: “There’s a compressed closeness to ‘Automatic’ – you can practically see the levels peaking as the myriad instruments (and Wu-Tang Clan freestyle sample) smash together; imagine Dijon’s lips smushed up against the microphone as he tries to convey “the lust degrees”. It’s searing intimacy, as brief and brilliant as a matchstick catching ablaze.”

‘Baby!’ also received four stars from NME upon its release back in August, with Patrick Clarke writing: “Though there’s always a lot happening on the surface, at the core of ‘Baby’ are songs so finely hewn that they’re never overshadowed.”
