In 2017, more than 8,000 admirers came to say goodbye to the legend Karel Gott, and the band Kabát is the most frequent performer. Until 2011, it was organized at Zelená voda near Nové Mesto nad Váhom, for the next 6 years at the Pieštany Airport, after which it returned to Zelená voda again and in 2022 it was held at the Banát horse riding school in Častkovce.
