Thompson in Rijeka: "This city and this county need Jesus"
Marko Perković Thompson emphasized the need for Jesus in Rijeka during his concert, which saw a strong turnout and minor altercations among attendees.
Marko Perković Thompson held a concert in Rijeka, where he proclaimed the need for Jesus in the city and county. The concert began with the greeting "Praise Jesus and Mary", and featured a performance of his song "Život". A notable moment occurred when some audience members raised their right hands during the song "Bojna Čavoglave", which has political connotations, resulting in minor conflicts among attendees.
The event was well-organized, with temporary traffic regulations put in place to manage the expected crowd. Despite some disputes in the stands that required the involvement of security, the evening proceeded smoothly. For fans who wished to take home memorabilia, various items such as caps, flags, and scarves were being sold outside the concert venue and within, promoting the artist and enhancing concert-goer experience.
Tickets for Thompson's concert sold out rapidly in just 27 minutes, reflecting his popularity in the region. Due to this high demand, a second concert has already been scheduled for February 7th in the Dvorana mladosti. The swift sell-out demonstrates not only Thompson's influence in Croatian music but also highlights the continued interest in his themes which resonate with a significant portion of the audience.
