Ria Rua - S C A P E G.O.A.T. TOUR - Dublin

Hailing from Cavan, Ria Rua ("Red Queen" in Irish) is known for her explosive and emotional performances. Her lyrics are pointed and personal but the themes are universal: sex, power and freedom. Expect grungy and electronic rock anthems - a dynamic fusion of electronic pulses, grunge undertones, and alternative embellishments. Her tracks often feature mesmerizing vocals that exude attitude, layered over a blend of industrial textures and introspective melodies - music that sounds like an angry soundtrack to the looming collapse. Some songs are guitar driven. Some sound like a helicopter crashing into a petrol station. Some have two drummers. All of them are driven my a single minded vision and urgency. Ria's debut album "S C A P E G.O.A.T." was mixed by Grammy Winning engineer Ruadhri Cushnan (Ed Sheeran/The Macabees) and was released in feb 2026. She recently had a song featured in the Nicolas Cage movie "The Surfer," and has been played numerous times on Deutschlandfunk, the BBC and Irish national radio.
