The program for the final day of Laima Rendezvous Jūrmala 2026 has been enriched by a loud name. On the closing evening, Sunday, July 26, musician, poet, and master of intellectual satire Semyon Slepakov will take the stage of the Dzintari concert hall. The festival will take place from July 24 to 26, and his performance will be a highlight of the festival's closing evening.
Slepakov's return to Jūrmala is highly anticipated. A year earlier, his solo evening at the festival was a sell-out and became one of the brightest events of the Dzintari season: a full hall, prolonged applause, and witty lyrics that the audience knew by heart. This time, the artist will participate in the Sunday evening and perform several compositions in his characteristic style. Both beloved works that have long become quotable and new pieces presented to the audience for the first time will be performed. Semyon Slepakov's performance at Laima Rendezvous Jūrmala opens a new season in the artist's touring life: he will soon announce the dates and cities of his European tour.
Semyon Slepakov is a unique phenomenon on the modern stage - in his songs, precise irony intertwines with sincerity and genuine humanity. Each performance by the artist makes the audience laugh and at the same time reflect on the most important things.
"Semyon is a special artist. His humor is subtle, his songs are honest, ironic, and very human. I am happy that he will once again grace our festival and take the stage precisely at the finale. I am sure it will be one of the brightest and most emotional evenings that cannot be missed," notes the festival's muse Laima Vaikule.
Since 2015, Laima Rendezvous Jūrmala has remained one of the most anticipated musical events of the summer in the Baltic countries. Every year, it brings together artists from Latvia and around the world on one stage - more than 40 performers from 20 countries, whose performances are accompanied by a live orchestra. The special aura of the Dzintari concert hall and the skill of the festival's creative team create a unique platform year after year, where music meets art, elegance, and soulfulness.
