Hollywood’s ultimate nice guy, Keanu Reeves, is swapping the silver screen for the spotlight once more as his indie grunge band Dogstar unleashes a raw, nostalgia-fueled assault on the UK in 2026. Announced just days ago on December 2, 2025, the All In Now Tour promises blistering riffs, heartfelt anthems, and that signature ’90s edge – all with Reeves thumping the bass like it’s the last stand against digital overload. Fans, mark your calendars: This isn’t just a gig; it’s a time machine back to garage rock glory, complete with Reeves’ infectious humility on stage.
Formed in 1991 in a sun-soaked Los Angeles garage, Dogstar – featuring Reeves on bass and backing vocals, guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose, and drummer Rob Mailhouse – started as a band of buddies chasing pure musical joy. Their debut album, Our Little Visionary (1996), captured that Southern California storytelling vibe, blending grunge grit with palm-tree poetry. Follow-up Happy Ending (2000) kept the momentum, but as Reeves skyrocketed to fame with The Matrix, the trio hit pause around 2002. Fast-forward to 2023: Dogstar roared back with Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, their first album in over two decades, via indie label Dillon Street Records. Tracks like “Everything Turns Around” reignited the fire, proving the band’s chemistry is timeless – raw, resonant, and unapologetically authentic.
Now, the All In Now Tour: Europe 2026 is Dogstar’s boldest European swing yet, a 23-date marathon kicking off in Ireland and storming across the continent through June and July. For UK faithful, it’s a triple-threat blitz: an intimate opener in Dublin, a Camden powerhouse in London, and a festival finale that could redefine summer anthems. Presale kicked off December 3 via the band’s site, with general tickets dropping today, December 5, at 10am local time – so if you’re not locked in yet, refresh that Ticketmaster page like your life depends on it (it kinda does for that front-row view of Keanu’s legendary smile).

Why does this matter? In a world of auto-tuned pop and AI playlists, Dogstar’s return feels like a rebellion – unfiltered rock from the guy who once turned down a Speed sequel for artistic integrity. Reeves, ever the gentleman, has teased in interviews that these shows are about “making a little noise together,” but expect crowd-surfs (if he dares) and setlists blending classics like “California” with fresh cuts from their 2023 LP. Early buzz from 2024 US tours raves about the band’s tight grooves and Reeves’ effortless cool – one fan review called it “wholesome chaos,” another “the cure for superhero fatigue.”
As tickets vanish faster than a red pill in The Matrix, this tour isn’t just music; it’s a cultural reset. Will Keanu stage-dive at Download? (Reddit bets say yes.) Can grunge steal the summer from EDM overlords? One thing’s certain: With Reeves at the helm, it’s going to be excellent. Head to dogstarofficial.com or Ticketmaster for the full Europe rundown – and don’t sleep on this. Your inner ’90s kid is screaming for it.
