Picture this: a Marko Perković Thompson concert at Zagreb’s Hippodrome, expecting half a million people, and the ambulance gets stuck on a rocky path! Yes, you read that right. About thirty concertgoers didn’t just stand by — they jumped in to help push the ambulance stuck in mud and rocks near Bundek, a well-known fan zone. It all ended without major issues, but imagine if it had been a real emergency!
While people enjoyed the concert, medical teams were busy — there were four medical interventions at 4 PM, three people sought help at the emergency medical center at Velesajam, all with minor issues. But is this the scenario we want? An ambulance that can’t get through because of crowds and rough terrain?
Meanwhile, a video of the stuck ambulance is going viral on social media, and other concert events are heating up the atmosphere. Due to strict security measures, attendees are forced to carry their belongings in clear plastic bags because large bags and backpacks are banned. Imagine being at a concert and having to sneak around with a plastic bag like you’re at a grocery store!
And as if that wasn’t enough, famous singer Severina dropped a bombshell the day after the concert, declaring that antifascism is “the greatest concept in the world,” sparking heated public debates. Thompson’s career has long been linked to nationalist iconography and revisionist narratives, so it’s no surprise the concert stirred strong reactions.
As people struggle with security measures, an ambulance that can’t get through, and political tensions, one thing is clear — this concert won’t be forgotten anytime soon. What about you? Would you push an ambulance or carry your stuff in a plastic bag at a concert? Or maybe you have a better idea on how to handle this chaos? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s the craziest among us!
