Marko Perković Thompson, the most attended and most controversial musician of the Croatian scene, plays a big concert in Šibenik on August 4 at Šubićevac stadium. The show is scheduled ahead of Victory Day and the Day of Croatian Defenders, and after his recent record-breaking concert at the Zagreb hippodrome, interest in the Šibenik evening is enormous.

Thompson is a phenomenon that far exceeds the frame of an ordinary concert. His performances regularly draw tens of thousands of people and rank among the most attended music events in Croatia overall. His music blends rock with patriotic and traditional motifs, and his concerts have the atmosphere of a mass gathering with a strong national charge.

That is exactly why Thompson is also among the most polarising names of the regional scene - adored by a huge audience, but also sharply criticised over some of the symbolism tied to his performances. Whatever one's views, the numbers are indisputable: the concert at the Zagreb hippodrome ranked among the most attended in Croatian history, and its broadcast on HRT further fuelled interest in the coming dates.

Tickets are available via ulaznice.hr. The concert is at Šubićevac stadium in Šibenik, starting in the evening hours.
