When you mix Thompson, hundreds of thousands of people, and the Zagreb Hippodrome, you get a spectacle to remember! Marko Perković Thompson held a concert at the Zagreb Hippodrome that, according to organizers HRT, gathered an unbelievable 504,000 people! Yes, you read that right — half a million people! This is the biggest music event of its kind ever in Croatia.
The concert kicked off with the song “Ustani sjene,” and the atmosphere exploded when “Ravnoteža” followed. The crowd lit up the place with a torchlight display, and Thompson opened by saying it’s time to return to tradition and Christian roots because only then can Croatia be strong.
Photos from the concert, even taken from Medvedgrad, show a sea of people flooding the hippodrome. Thompson’s team thanked everyone on social media — from fans to police, emergency services, firefighters, and volunteers.
But let’s be real — half a million people in one place? Is that even possible, or is the number a bit exaggerated? And what does this concert really mean for Croatia today? Is it just a music spectacle or a political rally with a clear message?
Either way, if you missed this event, you probably missed the biggest concert of the year in Croatia. And if you were there, you surely have a story to tell. So, what do you think? Is Thompson just a musician or something way bigger? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s for and who’s against!
