Rikas

About

Rikas, a group of childhood friends, have been in forward motion with each other for 10 years. At their upcoming Europe spanning tour Dog Days Rikas want to celebrate the spirit of their early days, playing selected venues that played an important role on their journey.
Dog Days are the hot days of the year and Rikas are named after one of the band members family dog - reason enough to embrace that mission. All started with their 2018 debut EP Swabian Samba. The following years Rikas have built a loyal following around their brisk, easygoing harmonies, anthemic choruses, and egalitarian style, where every member contributes equally to songwriting and shares the spotlight both in the studio and on stage.

Following their warm and inviting 2019 debut album, Showtime, and two interim EPs (2021s Short Stories and 2022s Goodbye Sunshine), Rikas became a live phenomenon in Germany and word started spreading across the borders. Their second album Soundtrack For A Movie That Has Not Been Written Yet led them to first sold out headline shows from London, Lisbon Amsterdam to Paris. In 2026 Rikas are ready to bring their shows to their ever growing fanbase all around the globe.
