RIA TIMKIN

Alt-pop dreamer Ria Timkin crafts bold, atmospheric soundscapes with her dynamic three-piece act, creating an immersive experience driven by rich vocals, evocative storytelling, and striking stage presence.

Originally emerging as a solo artist, Timkin quickly drew attention with a run of standout singles that led to a performance at Glastonbury Festival. As her sound became more ambitious, she evolved into a full three-piece, bringing her cinematic alt-pop to life for dreamers, doers, and everyone in between.

Based in Belfast, Timkin has become a rising voice in the alt-pop scene, earning support from BBC Introducing and captivating audiences with powerful live performances, including a packed showcase at Output Belfast, Ireland’s premier music conference. Her work blends cinematic intensity with emotional clarity – music rooted in resilience, self-discovery, and the belief that every dreamer has a story worth telling.

Timkin’s latest shows in Dublin, Derry, and Newry, along with her packed headline shows in Belfast, prove that it is on stage where she shines the most.

On 4 September 2026, Timkin releases her upcoming EP, “Favourite Child”, before heading out on the UK & Ireland tour with her band. The tour includes stops in Glasgow, Manchester, her former hometown of Bristol, London, Dublin, and Belfast.
