Dogstar Back After Their Reunion With a New Album and Tour

Dogstar is pulling out all the stops in 2026, announcing a new album, All in Now, along with a massive 52‑date tour. They’ll kick things off with two shows in California before heading to Europe for 25 dates, then returning to North America for another 25. The Los Angeles band—formed back in 1991 by Bret Domrose, Robert Mailhouse, and Keanu Reeves—originally released two albums before stepping away for two decades. Their 2023 comeback brought a new record and tour, reuniting the trio and reintroducing their sound to longtime fans.

This year, Dogstar will release All in Now on May 29, with the tour beginning a day earlier on May 28 in Highland, California. Several editions of the album, including signed copies, are available for pre‑order on the band’s website.

Dogstar’s blend of hard rock and post‑grunge fit seamlessly into the late‑1990s alternative landscape, though their early visibility was undoubtedly boosted by bassist Keanu Reeves, who was already a rising film star. When the band formed, Reeves had just wrapped the two Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure films and was filming Bram Stoker’s Dracula. His busy acting schedule delayed Dogstar’s debut album, Our Little Visionary, until 1996. By then, Point Break and Speed had made him a household name, giving the band a built‑in audience from the start.

Now, Dogstar is focused on letting the music speak for itself. Their lead single—the album’s title track, “All in Now”—was released for streaming on March 6. The song reflects on learning from past mistakes and choosing a more mature, confident path forward. Written in second person, it feels like the band is urging listeners to go “all in now” with their own lives. Musically, it stays true to their post‑grunge roots: an uptempo track driven by a dirty, primal guitar riff, a busy bassline that often locks in with the guitar, and a dramatic, soaring chorus from Domrose. Multiple guitar layers build toward the finale, closing with one last run of the song’s catchy central motif.
