The band also has several other scheduled shows across Europe, including the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Luxembourg, and more. Their tour comes a month after they announced the release of their new album. In an Instagram post on May 6, the band shared the exciting news.

“ALL IN NOW. New album, New single, New tour,” the caption reads. “We’re so excited to announce our new album, ‘All In Now!’ Out worldwide on May 29th. Limited edition signed glass clear vinyl available in our Shop.”

Fans flooded the comment section with messages of support. “Love the new song and that is a great picture!!!,” a comment reads. “Can’t wait! What a way to ROCK 2026! Blessings to all, and have a fabulous weekend,” another person wrote. 

Other reactions include, “So excited about the new album! Congrats,” “Love him even more if that’s possible,” and “You are the true, incredible, fantastic trio. Sending you love.” 


Keanu Reeves Shares Passion for Music

Reeves has spoken about how grateful he is to be able to do so many things he loves. In an interview with  Q104.3 New York’s QN’A in 2023, he said, “I feel really lucky and grateful. I love working, I love working hard, I love being dedicated. I love the feeling of believing in a vision and wanting to make it happen. …[Films and music are] about people being on the same page and collectively coming together on stage with your talent and your craft, your passion.” 

The “John Wick” actor also spoke about his love of the bass guitar. “You know, I love the bass, I love playing in a band, I love touring, making music, writing songs. I love the instrument,” he said. 

In the interview, Reeves was asked about the process of creating film and music, and which he preferred or found easier. “They’re both super collaborative art forms, for the most part. A movie, for sure,” he said. “The differences are kind of technical. You look at the credits of a film, there are sometimes thousands of people. You look at the end credits of an album, maybe there are 12 names.” But creatively, it was playing music.

“The music, trying to invent a song, a riff, and then that idea of trying to bring it out, crafting it and then going into the studio,” Reeves explained. “The relationship with the band and the producer, how are you shaping the script? The engineer is a kind of cinematographer/production designer, set designer, making sure we’re capturing the sounds. The artists are kind of like the writings and performers, the actors.”
