Zagreb Braces for the Biggest Concert in Independent Croatia’s History!
Imagine half a million people in one place! Yes, you read that right – around 500,000 fans are expected at Marko Perković Thompson’s concert at Zagreb’s Hippodrome. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a historic spectacle that could change the face of the capital.
A City Preparing or a City Sleeping?
The day before the concert, Zagreb’s city center looks like nothing special is happening. Ban Jelačić Square is nearly empty, with just a few passersby and some people enjoying drinks. Are they all still on their way? Or have some already given up? Tickets have been selling massively in recent days, but the city seems to be waiting for an explosion.
Half a Million People – Is That Even Possible?
Organizers claim around half a million tickets have been sold, which would make this the largest concert in independent Croatia’s history. People are coming from all over Croatia and the world. The Hippodrome will be flooded with fans, and security measures are at their highest level.
While Some Sing, Others Pray – A Mass in Split at the Same Time
While Zagreb prepares for the spectacle, something quite different is happening in Split. The parish of Saint Joseph in Mertojak is organizing a mass at the same time as the concert. The message is clear – while some celebrate music and unity at the Hippodrome, others gather in prayer for the unity and harmony of the Croatian people.
Sandra, Marko Perković’s wife, thanked everyone for their support and said, “Who else but ours!”
What Awaits Us?
Will Zagreb really host half a million people? Can the city handle such pressure? Will the concert be magnificent or chaotic? All eyes are on Croatia’s capital this weekend.

Either way, get ready – this won’t be an ordinary weekend in Zagreb!
