When and where did Keanu Reeves make public appearances in 2024–2025?
Executive summary
Keanu Reeves made a series of public appearances in 2024 tied largely to two threads: comic‑book promotion and music touring. He appeared onstage at San Diego Comic‑Con in July 2024 for a BRZRKR panel (photo coverage cited) and his band Dogstar announced and played multiple 2024 tour dates across Europe and the U.S. [1] [2] [3].
1. Comic‑con stages and BRZRKR promotion — Reeves at San Diego Comic‑Con 2024
Keanu Reeves spoke onstage at Comic‑Con International: San Diego in 2024 as part of BRZRKR/BRZRKR‑related programming, where he was photographed and described as addressing the franchise and related projects [4] [1]. Local reporting about appearances connected Reeves’s convention stops to his role as a comic‑book creator rather than primarily as a film star, and organizers emphasized he would focus his time on panel events and fans around that IP [1].
2. Connecticut casino appearances tied to TerrifiCon and Dogstar performances
Regional reporting in August 2024 noted Reeves committed to making an in‑person appearance at TerrifiCon (Mohegan Sun) in Connecticut the same day he was scheduled to perform with Dogstar at Foxwoods Resort Casino, with event promoters stressing his role there would be about his comic book work [1]. Organizers warned of capacity limits and framed Reeves’s presence as centered on BRZRKR rather than a broad, open meet‑and‑greet [1].
3. Dogstar’s 2024 tour — announced dates and festival stops
Dogstar, the alt‑rock trio featuring Reeves on bass, announced a 2024 Summer Vacation tour with European festival and club dates in June and a U.S. tour kicking off in August; outlets including People, NME and U.S. entertainment press listed specific European festival stops and reported the band’s plans to play headline shows across the continent and the U.S. [2] [3] [5]. Coverage compiled set lists and schedules for June festival appearances (Amsterdam/Melkweg; Rock im Park; Rock am Ring; Rockhal; Zurich; NovaRock; Rock For People, etc.) [6].
4. Media appearances and interviews — press around tours and projects
Reporting around mid‑2024 tied Reeves’s publicity largely to music and comics: interviews and festival promotions focused on Dogstar’s comeback album and tour as well as Reeves’s BRZRKR commitments, rather than a heavy film‑promotion schedule in that window [6] [2]. ScreenRant and other outlets also tracked Reeves’s film shoots in 2024 (for projects like Good Fortune and Outcome), but contemporaneous public appearances cited in the sources emphasize live music and convention panels [7] [4].
5. Where 2025 appearances are covered or uncertain
Sources in this collection list several 2025 projects and later public activities (Broadway “Waiting for Godot” and film announcements) but do not provide a comprehensive list of public appearances in calendar 2025 the way the 2024 convention and tour coverage does [8] [9] [10]. Reporting does confirm Reeves was announced for stage projects and that film festival/press activity continued into 2025 reporting cycles, yet available sources do not mention a detailed, dated schedule of his 2025 public appearances [11] [12].
6. What these appearances tell us — publicity focus and agendas
The pattern across reporting shows Reeves’s 2024 public engagements were strategically aligned with projects he controls or fronts: BRZRKR (comic IP) and Dogstar (his band). Local promoters explicitly framed his convention stops as tied to his comic‑book creator role, not a general star tour, which indicates a deliberate public relations choice to spotlight certain creative outlets [1] [2]. Outlets covering his film work continued to report on shoots and future releases, but those did not dominate the public‑appearance calendar in the sources provided [7] [9].
7. Limitations of available reporting and next steps
The sources supplied include festival and local press coverage, tour announcements and broad project lists but do not produce a definitive, event‑by‑event log of every public appearance across 2024–2025; for example, exact Dogstar U.S. venue dates in August 2024 are reported but a consolidated master list of every single appearance in both years is not present in these clips [6] [5]. For a full, date‑by‑date itinerary you should consult primary event pages (festival lineups, Comic‑Con schedules, venue listings) or official Keanu Reeves/Dogstar social channels and ticketing partners; those primary sources are not included in the set of documents above.
If you want, I can extract the specific festival and tour dates listed in the cited reports [6] [2] into a consolidated timeline and flag any gaps for follow‑up against venue calendars.
