Keanu Reeves returns to Richmond after 2024 viral moment

Driving the news: "The Matrix" star is once again performing at the downtown venue with Dogstar, the rock band he co-founded.

• They play Saturday at 8pm. Tickets start at $53.

Flashback: When Reeves was here in 2024, the band called Richmond "our best show yet."

• Before coming on stage, Reeves popped over to Fountain Bookstore to sign copies of his book.
• After, he stayed late signing autographs — despite being visibly exhausted.

Fun fact: Dogstar also played at Flood Zone, a historic, now-closed Shockoe Bottom venue, in 1997.

• That's the year "The Devil's Advocate" came out.

What we're watching: For him to become another meme, or be spotted in Shockoe (Poe's Pub anyone?).
