Keanu Reeves, one of the biggest action stars of the 1990s and early 2000s, will bring his band, Dogstar, to the Indiana State Fair Hoosier Lottery Free Stage this summer.

Dogstar, for which Reeves is the bassist, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 8.

Formed in 1991, Dogstar also includes guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose and drummer Rob Mailhouse. They're touring their latest release, "Somewhere Between The Power Lines And Palm Trees," a collection of tracks created during the COVID-19 lockdowns. The 2023 album is the group's first release in more than 20 years.

All shows on the free stage are free with paid fair admission. Seating is first-come, first-served. Discounted fair tickets are available online now at indianastatefair.com.
