Stage instead of screen - Keanu Reeves rocks Europe with band Dogstar
Keanu Reeves (59) not only masters acting - since 1991, he has also been a musician for the band Dogstar. Recent images from the Dogstar tour once again show how much he enjoys taking a break from Hollywood and instead rocking Europe instead. Last Tuesday (25. June), Reeves and his two bandmates Robert Mailhouse (62, drums) and Bret Domrose (55, guitar) were at work in Zagreb, Croatia, heating up the guests of the INmusic Festival at Jarun Lake.
Reeves, wearing a simple black outfit and visibly enjoying himself, played the bass guitar, as clips from the concert reveal. He frequently looked happily but calmly into the cheering crowd.
Back in the recording studio due to Corona
Two weeks ago, Reeves was seen at the German twin festival Rock am Ring and Rock im Park. Next up are gigs in Serbia at the Arsenal Fest 2024 (27. - 29. June), followed by two concerts in Italy (29. and 30. June). Starting August 8, the band will tour the USA.
The fact that Keanu Reeves is performing on stage and even playing the bass again is due to the Corona lockdown. Since the film industry was completely shut down at the time, the three band members found themselves back in the recording studio after a long hiatus and wrote new songs. The result was the October 2023 released album "Somewhere Between The Power Lines And Palm Trees".
Busy in Hollywood as well
Fans of Reeves need not worry about only being able to admire their favorite actor on the music stage in the future. According to industry site IMDb, there are currently seven film productions with him in a leading role in the works. Among them is the "Constantine" sequel, the "John Wick" spin-off "Ballerina", and the new Ruben Östlund film "The Entertainment System Is Down", in which Daniel Brühl (46), Kirsten Dunst (42), and Joel Edgerton (50) also participate. In short: The entertainment system won't be shutting down anytime soon because of Reeves.
