The night at Zagreb’s Hippodrome kicked off like never before. Thompson took the stage just before 9 PM and started the concert with the song “Rise, Shadows.” But the real question: how many people showed up? Estimates range from hundreds of thousands to a staggering half a million! Yes, you read that right — half a million people! Thompson’s team claims half a million tickets were sold, while unofficial sources say crowds were pushing to get in even without tickets.
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. The rules were strict: no food or drinks allowed except water, bags and backpacks had to be transparent or were banned altogether. Umbrellas and sunshades? Forget about it! All these measures were supposed to prevent chaos, but did they?
At the entrance, huge crowds formed, and some tried to sneak in a giant flag with Thompson’s image, causing even more commotion. A fan zone was set up at Bundek for those who couldn’t get inside, complete with big screens to watch the concert.
This event wasn’t just a concert — it was a massive spectacle showing just how popular Thompson is, but also how hard it is to control such a huge crowd. Was it a celebration or a dangerous gamble with safety? You decide!
If you were there or saw the photos, drop a comment — was this the concert of the year or a total mess? And seriously, who brought an umbrella? Just kidding, we know they weren’t allowed!
