Marko Perković – Thompson, Croatian singer and songwriter born in 1966, wearing the cross of St. Benedict

Music event of epic proportions

3 hours of uninterrupted program

The music of Marko Perkovic – Thompson represents the fusion of rock and folk, bringing powerful lyrics that celebrate Croatian history, nature, and Biblical values.
About 90% of the audience were young people. In other words, there were more than 50,000 older people – not bad!
But the sheer record number of half a million of attendees, though interesting in itself, is not the most interesting. The most interesting is in fact the reason of the gathering: the verses of Thompson’s songs, speaking primarily about God, Family, and Homeland.
Marko Perković Thompson and his wife Sandra are blessed with five children.

The largest commercial concert in history

The stage was a towering structure 33 m high and 150 m wide, crafted by experts from Dubai!
Thompson, entering to the stage, said simply: No stage is big enough for this love!
The record of an Italian rock star, who gathered 225,000 fans in 2017, was surpassed by more than twice!
Over 280,000 tickets were sold in less than 24 hours!
It was not just a concert. It was a pilgrimage. This collossal gathering is not just about music. It was an organizational Everest.
Security: no incident among more than half a million of people attending the concert!
Not a single billboard, advertisement on radio or television for the sale of concert tickets!
The greatest ticketed concert in history, surpassing Rolling Stones, Micheal Jackson, ACDC,…!
It should be confirmed in the Guinness Book of Records.
