NK, Slavic Balagan, and Potap – the most talked-about trio on the Laima Rendezvous stage
This year, Laima Rendezvous Jūrmala once again brings together some of the most beloved artists from around the world. For the first time in many years, the iconic Ukrainian rapper, producer, and songwriter Potap will take the stage at the Dzintari Concert Hall – this time with the exclusive premiere of his new musical alter ego: Slavic Balagan. Despite the global buzz around his debut single “OPA”, this will be the project’s first large-scale introduction to the Latvian audience. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJog4vlshKV/
The founder and frontman of the legendary duo Potap and Nastya and the group MOZGI – acts that conquered Eastern Europe – Potap is preparing a unique performance that fuses energy, humor, irony, and a deep love for life. These are the very traits that define Slavic Balagan, whose name already carries a playful pun. The tracklist includes the viral hit “OPA”, which made headlines across Europe following speculation it could represent Moldova at Eurovision. Slavic Balagan – Opa (Official Video)
One of the headliners of Laima Rendezvous Jūrmala 2025 is Ukrainian pop star NK, who is preparing a special performance tailored for the Latvian audience. Despite her packed international tour schedule and high demand not only in her native Ukraine but also across Latin America, Nastya Kamenskykh shares that she is eagerly and emotionally anticipating her return to the festival, taking place 25–27 July in Jūrmala.
NK’s performance at last year’s festival was among the most viewed and left a lasting impression on the audience. She not only delivered her biggest hits but also made a powerful statement of solidarity with her home country, addressing millions of viewers around the world.
Since the onset of the full-scale war, charity and humanitarian efforts have been at the core of NK’s mission. Leveraging her popularity in Spanish-speaking countries, NK opened the prestigious Latin American Music Awards with a tribute to Ukraine alongside the legendary Black Eyed Peas. In Madrid, her duet with beloved Spanish band Funambulista was the highlight of a benefit concert that raised nearly €1.5 million in aid for Ukraine.
This summer promises to be a vibrant festival season for NK. Her Spanish-language video “Moloko” was recently nominated for one of Europe’s most respected music honors – the Berlin Music Awards. NK X ATOMIC OTRO WAY – MOLOKO (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
Meanwhile, her latest hit “Bloody Mary” is already being eagerly awaited by fans at upcoming concerts in Ukraine and across Europe. dy Mary” уже с нетерпением ждет зрители предстоящих концертов в Украине и Европе. NK – BLOODY MARY (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
