Tonight, Zagreb’s Hippodrome is set to host a spectacle that will go down in Croatian history! Marko Perković Thompson, the controversial yet beloved musician, is holding a concert like no other – with a staggering half a million tickets sold! Yes, you read that right – 500,000 people are expected to gather in one place, making this the biggest music event in independent Croatia.
Organizers have pulled out all the stops: a huge fan zone at Bundek will allow fans to gather before the concert, and the event will be broadcast on big screens for those who can’t get into the Hippodrome. Thompson took to his official Facebook page to tell fans, “See you at the Hippodrome, let’s take care of each other,” accompanied by a heart emoji, sparking a wave of excitement.
The stage is already set, and at the start of the concert, Thompson thanked the crowd and said, “Thank you for coming in such numbers, we show unity, you came from all parts of Croatia and other countries. Let’s return to our tradition, our Christian roots, only then can Croatia be strong again.” This message has stirred plenty of reactions, as Thompson is known for his outspoken views and ties to nationalist themes.
This concert is more than just a music event; it’s a social phenomenon. Half a million people in one place, at a time when mass gatherings are rare, speaks volumes about the power of music and Thompson’s influence on his fans. Is this a celebration of culture or a political rally? The debate has already started, and you – what do you think? Has Thompson managed to unite people or driven them further apart? Drop your thoughts and let’s get the conversation rolling!
