From 26-30 July, the traditional Laima Vaikule festival, Laima Rendezvous, was held in Jurmala. It featured Russian artists such as Philip Kirkorov and Khibla Gerzmava. The main language of the event was Russian.
In 2023, showman Maxim Galkin (known in the Russian Federation as a foreign agent), singer Alla Pugacheva and rock musician Andrei Makarevich (known in the Russian Federation as a foreign agent) were present at the hall. Ukrainian musicians Vera Brezhneva and Max Barsky also performed at the Vaikule festival.
In early December 2022, Laima Vaikule stated that she “supported the Soviet Union by issuing her discs”.
“And I received 17 rubles from 45 thousand spectators in the stadium. Calculate how much money he brings to the state. I’m not talking about Alla. He supported all of Russia, which is now offering something to him, ”said the artist.
