>Have you heard of Marko Perković Thompson? Well, the Croatian musician at the centre of many a fascist controversy will dwarf the likes of The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Tina Turner in July when it comes to ticket sales.

>Now, Croatian singer Marko Perković - known professionally as Thompson and who has a song which opens with the chant “Za dom spremni!”, the Croatian version of the Nazi salute “Sieg Heil” - is on track to break that record.

Politics aside, are massive concerts like that really enjoyable to attend? I always thought it was better to be in a smaller where you could feel close to the artist

>>126911849
it's obviously a political thing, nothing to do with music

It will be kino

Big concerts and festivals are more about the communal experience than connecting with the artist

based Thompson

The only people outside of Croatia who care about this band are Croatian immigrants

>>126911683 (OP)
it's weird how all of these biggest concerts of all time are people who are only big in a single country. do you think it may be in some sort of state departments interest to fudge ticket sales to advance the image of their nations entertainers?

Zadom spremni.

Oh this is good I'm hearing they wanna cancel Ye's concert in Slovakia so it looks like Croatia will be a good country to try in case it fails.

>>126912911
It's becomming more and more apparent just how desperate and fake the entertainment industry is. The entertainment industry was always fake but in the past they did a better job hiding it. When AI-slop is making it to the top of Spotify and YouTube and Eastern European Shitholes with the population of Iowa are magically breaking ticket sales records for an artist nobody has ever heard of it's pretty much all but confirmed just how fake the industry is now.

as an italian, I can say that Vasco is HUGE here, even if almost completely unknown abroad.
he's a boomer who made a few good albums more than 30 years ago (and a lot of crap afterwards), but for some reason is still incredibly popular among all demographics.

>>126913519
How very much like Metallica or Paul McCartney.

Actual jew here.

This all sounds like bullshit. I don't buy a word of the whole "controversy". I'd almost bet that this is just a case of a guy saying something slightly politically incorrect and politically retards making it out to be something that it isn't.

balkanoids are going to get colonised by Nepalis and Indians this century

Thompson has several songs with thinly veiled Ustaše dogwhistles (although cleverly written to have plausible deniability) and he supposedly sang the openly genocidal song "Jasenovac i Gradiška Stara" twenty years ago. Although the controversy is less about him and more about his large audience

>>126913904
pretty sure he fought in the war of independence, he means what he says

Those people have no interest in living in ex-communist shitholes they want to go to wealthy cunts like Sweden and Germany with gibes.

this has what to do with music now?

>>126919848
It's possible that the reason why this concert drew so many people is implicit anxiety about mass immigration.
Thompson was popular 20 years ago but nowhere near to this extent.

>>126912926
Total Italian-Bosnian-Japanese domination

yeah the /pol/ tourist MAGA trash are all about it, everyone else is like "literally who?"

honestly MPT is a huge faggot, i wish a better guy than him was this popular here singing patriotic songs, and most of the music is written by guys he kicked from the band anyway (Tiho Orlić)

but fuck it, the songs are just pure bangers

No need for that.
Do you know how I know that?
I barely returned home today. There were police blockages, roads closed, shitload of people, onlookers, test music playing.
THE CONCERT IS IN 24 HOURS, TOMORROW
I dread going outside today
I could hear the sound test through my chimney
