Imagine this: half a million people flooding Zagreb for Marko Perković Thompson’s concert, and the city is literally on the brink of collapse! Yes, you read that right – half a million! Organizers claim this is the biggest concert in the history of independent Croatia, and security services and managers are urging people to arrive early because Saturday will be total chaos on the streets.
The dress rehearsal at the Hippodrome was a spectacle on its own – Thompson sang and played guitar, and the sound was reportedly heard as far as eight kilometers away, confirmed by Dino Jelusić, who said the sound was like the concert was right outside his building!
But it’s not just music and fun. The Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a warning to its citizens not to travel to Zagreb during the concert due to security risks. “Staying in Zagreb can be risky,” they say, as the expected crowd is so large that it’s hard to predict what might happen.
To make things even more interesting, a special mass will be held in Split at the Church of St. Joseph at the same time as the concert, as an alternative for those who don’t want to attend. Thompson’s wife, Sandra, thanked everyone who joined in the prayer for unity and harmony of the Croatian people.
Thompson’s manager, Zdravko Barišćanić, is urging visitors to come early because traffic jams will be huge, and city services are already preparing special traffic measures.
This event is not just a concert; it’s a full-blown urban invasion that will turn Zagreb into the epicenter of music, passion, and potential chaos. Are you ready for the biggest spectacle of the year? Or will you stay home and watch from afar?
