Rikas is a well-established newcomer band that has always stood out through its unique style and very broad creative approach. Since forming their band as high school friends and meeting in the basement to write catchy indie songs, they have by now played over 350 concerts, not only in their home territory but in whole Europe and the U.S.
Over the years, they have gained numerous fans worldwide. With over 35 million Spotify streams and a captivating live show, they have also won over the scene. Not only actress Florence Pugh is an outspoken fan, brands such as Lacoste, Asics and Nokia have collaborated with the band and they have supported other acts such as ALT-J, Parcels, Alice Phoebe Lou, Milky Chance or AnnenMayKantereit.
2024 is off to a good start for the 4 "Weltmänner". The campaign for their sophomore album has just begun and they have a summer full of festivals ahead of them, as well as an extensive GSA tour in fall before they head off on an European tour.
THE IDEA
For the upcoming 2024 festival season, we want to create a XXXXXL football jersey (approx. 8x8m) as a stage backdrop with our band's name and number written on it. Since we're big fans of the brand (and with the EM right around the corner) we'd love to cooperate with ADIDAS for this occasion. We'll play a lot of open air shows this summer all around Germany including MS Dockville, Juicy Beats and Open Flair Festival, followed by a Europe tour in fall with over 20 dates.
The exact design of the jersey is still open, but it could be made obvious that it's from Adidas (by using one of the brands current, already existing jersey designs – or by adding the brands label / logo to a newly designed one). The cooperation could take place in different ways, from just sponsoring the jersey, over taking part in the design process, or using the action for your own social media / marketing (»world's largest Adidas jersey«,...). We're open for discussion!
Attached below are two visualizations (with random designs) on how we imagine the jersey to look like on stage:
In addition to that, independent of the backdrop idea, we just released a football-related song called »Jude Bellingham« on May 3rd :) We'd be happy if you would check it out! It already made it into several interesting playlists, such as the official Premier League Playlist, Birmingham FC Playlist or the official F1 Playlist.
If you find this interesting in any way, we'd love to hear from you!
Kind regards,
Rikas
