Imagine this: tomorrow in Zagreb at the Hippodrome, Marko Perković Thompson is performing, and around half a million people are expected! Yes, you read that right – half a million! This is the biggest concert in the history of independent Croatia. The fan zone at Bundek is already set up, with stands, portable toilets, and prices that will blow your mind – half a liter of beer costs 7 euros, water 5, and a sandwich 8 euros! Workers have been setting up bars and delivering pallets of drinks for days, while Thompson’s music blasts from the speakers.
But wait, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. The Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned its citizens not to travel to Zagreb during the concert due to security risks! Is this just a concert or a potential chaos waiting to happen?
In Split, while the biggest concert is being prepared, the parish of Saint Joseph is organizing a mass at the same time, inviting believers to pray for unity and harmony of the Croatian people. And Dino Jelusić, a well-known musician, says the soundcheck is audible even from 8 kilometers away – crazy, he says!
The concert manager advises visitors coming from outside Zagreb to arrive early because Saturday will see total traffic chaos. And the prices at the fan zone? Energy bars for 4 euros, souvenir cups for 2 euros – get your wallets ready!
And while the biggest musical spectacle is being prepared, meteorologists warn of possible bad weather and showers, which could complicate things even more.
Is this a concert or a test of patience and nerves? If you’re in Zagreb or planning to go, brace yourself for crowds, high prices, and maybe some rain. What do you think? Is this really the biggest event or just chaos on the horizon? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s in and who’s out!
