Watch Keanu Reeves perform with Dogstar at Download 2026
You’ll know him as everyone’s favourite gun-toting, knife-wielding assassin, John Wick, but when he’s not participating in high table duels and racking up ludicrous body counts, Hollywood A-lister Keanu Reeves handles bass duties in Los Angeles-based alt-rock trio Dogstar.
And this weekend, Download festival goers had the chance to see Reeves perform live on the second stage. Perhaps unsurprisingly, crowds flocked to see the Matrix star and his bandmates, drummer Robert Mailhouse and guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose.

The band’s set marked their first-ever appearance at Download Festival, widely regarded as metal music’s spiritual home.
The trio performed a half-an-hour set on the Opus stage on Sunday (14 June) – later headlined by Florida pop-punk/metalcore powerhouse A Day to Remember. The stage also saw performances from Mastodon, Tom Morello, Social Distortion and more.

Keanu Reeves and Dogstar are currently on tour in Europe, with dates planned in the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and more. Later this year, the trio will head back to the states for a US leg.
