Rikas

On December 10, 2026, at Sala Apolo in Barcelona, Rikas returns with their independent pop rooted in German traditions and a clear fondness for four-part harmonies. Formed in Stuttgart by four childhood friends, the band operates like a choir: everyone composes, everyone sings, and everyone drives the live show toward a lively band interplay—bright surf-tinged guitars, a funk-pulsing bass and pop melodies that stick without effort.

Their trajectory was defined by the EP Swabian Samba (2018) and the album Showtime (2019), which introduced a warm, rhythmic palette. They followed with the EPs Short Stories (2021) and Goodbye Sunshine (2022), featuring more narrative songwriting. In 2025 they released their second LP, Soundtrack For A Movie That Has Not Been Written Yet, and went back on the road.

In Barcelona, the setlist spans different phases: songs the audience already knows, less common cuts and recent material, all built around those layered voices and a light groove that invites movement without losing melodic focus. A live show centered on the band’s craft—close, unpretentious and designed for venues where the energy flows directly between performers and audience.
