Get ready for the biggest concert in the history of independent Croatia! Marko Perković Thompson is gearing up for a spectacle at Zagreb’s hippodrome, where an unbelievable half a million people are expected! Yes, you read that right — 500,000 people! Such a massive crowd in one place in Zagreb has never been seen before. Organizers claim everything will be perfectly organized, but is that really possible? With 14,000 security personnel, 40 emergency teams, and a staggering 2.5 million bottles of water, it seems they are prepared for anything. But with temperatures soaring up to 36 degrees Celsius, traffic jams that will paralyze the city, and political tensions surrounding Thompson, this is not just a concert — it’s a social phenomenon dividing the nation.
Zagreb’s streets will be closed, trams rerouted, and traffic in chaos. Police and organizers warn of possible incidents, while German media already label Thompson as an “extreme right-wing pop star” and remind of controversies shadowing his career. Some politicians attend the concert like a pilgrimage, while many young people are debating whether to go due to exams or ideological reasons.
Is this just a concert or a political rally? Will Zagreb withstand such pressure? And what will happen if the weather ruins the plans? All eyes are on the hippodrome this August 3rd. If you have something to say about this spectacle, feel free to join the conversation — this topic is sure to keep opinions divided!
