Imagine this: half a million tickets sold for one Marko Perković Thompson concert at the Zagreb Hipodrome! Yes, you read that right — half a million! So many people that the hipodrome literally exploded with energy and emotions. Organizers claim this was the biggest music event ever held in Croatia. And it doesn’t stop there — the day after the concert, fans didn’t just go home. Gathered near the Mačola restaurant close to Mogorić in the Lika-Senj County, they kept singing Thompson’s song “Prijatelji” accompanied by an accordion. A video shared by Radio Nu shows the vibe didn’t die down even after the lights went off at the hipodrome.
Iva Todorić, a well-known businesswoman, openly expressed regret for missing this spectacle. “I regret not being at the hipodrome, not just because of Thompson, but because of the feeling, the love, and the unity everyone there felt,” she wrote on social media. The concert was so powerful that people shared videos and graffiti from the event, and Thompson announced another big concert in Sinj this August.
This event wasn’t just a concert — it was a phenomenon showing how music can unite people and how Thompson remains an irreplaceable figure in the Croatian music scene. If you missed it, maybe it’s time to ask yourself — where were you when Zagreb sang in unison? And if you were there, you know what we’re talking about. So, who’s next to stir the dust? Drop your thoughts below — is this just music or something way bigger?
