Rikas

Rikas celebrate their ten-year anniversary with the Dog Days Tour, bringing their musical universe back to the club setting. The Stuttgart quartet—four friends since childhood—blends indie pop with touches of soul, funk and surf, carried by multi-part harmonies and a democratic band ethos: everyone writes, sings and shares the stage. On April 12, 2026, Rikas will play at Molotow in Hamburg.

Under the motto Dog Days they reconnect with the energy of their early days and perform in selected clubs that played a key role in their development. The setlist pairs early favorites and rarely played tracks with new material from their second album Soundtrack For A Movie That Has Not Been Written Yet (2025). What defines Rikas live—collective vocals, tight grooves, melodic choruses—meets the immediacy of an intimate venue.

On the bill: milestones such as the EP debut Swabian Samba (2018), the album Showtime (2019), and the EPs Short Stories (2021) and Goodbye Sunshine (2022). An evening that encapsulates the band’s evolution and presents their songs where they have the most direct impact: in the club.
