Zagreb in Chaos Over Thompson Concert: Half a Million People, Police on Edge, Serbia Advises Against Travel!
On Friday night, Zagreb looked like it was flooded with a sea of people! Cafes on Bogovićeva and Gajeva streets were packed, and the crowd was so dense that people couldn’t even move through. All this because of the concert by Marko Perković Thompson, scheduled for Saturday at the Zagreb Hippodrome, expected to gather nearly half a million people!
People arrived from all over Croatia, the region, and even neighboring countries, draped in flags and scarves, ready for a sleepless night. The temperature was rising, but that didn’t stop the youth who walked and took trams to the city center. The atmosphere was electric, flares were burning, and the police were on high alert, with dozens of officers arriving by bus.
But it’s not just Zagreb in chaos. The Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a warning to its citizens not to travel to Zagreb during the next three days due to security risks related to the concert. Around half a million attendees are expected, and staying in Zagreb during this period is considered potentially risky.
This concert is not just a musical event but a full-blown urban invasion that paralyzed Zagreb’s center and caused serious concern among neighbors. Is this too big a risk for the city and its residents? Or is it just another proof of how popular Thompson is and how many people are willing to gather for him?
