Keanu Reeves was seen rocking out at a Peter Hook & The Light concert
Keanu Reeves may be best known for his cinematic endeavors, but he’s also an avid rocker, having been the bassist in the band Dogstar since 1991. In fact, based on a recent video of Reeves at a concert, it would appear that music venues are his happy place.
A video from Peter Hook & The Light’s September 21 show at San Francisco’s Warfield showed beloved The Matrix and John Wick star Keanu Reeves dancing in the balcony during the performance of the iconic Joy Division song “Love Will Tear Us Apart.”

Reeves was watching the show alongside Dogstar bandmate Rob Mailhouse after introducing the band onstage earlier in the night. Reeves grabbed the mic himself, telling the crowd, “The one, the only Peter Hook and the Light! Playing the music we all love from then, today and tomorrow! We are all here together, September 21, 2026!”
The former Point Break and Speed leading man has said for years that “Love Will Tear Us Apart” is the one song he’d want on a desert island, which likely explains his ecstatic reaction to hearing it live.
Joy Division, active from just 1976 to 1980, was a Manchester-based post-punk band that became one of the most influential groups in rock history despite existing for barely four years.
Frontman Ian Curtis died by suicide in May 1980, just weeks before “Love Will Tear Us Apart” was released as a single, which wound up becoming the band’s biggest hit. The surviving members — Peter Hook, Bernard Sumner, and Stephen Morris — went on to form New Order, one of the most important bands of the ’80s in its own right.
