The Frankfurt concert is anticipated to be a significant event for the large Croatian diaspora in Germany and fans from other European countries. It will offer an opportunity to experience songs from "Hodočasnik" live, alongside his well-known hits that have defined his career. Thompson's team highlighted the concert's role in connecting with the diaspora and celebrating his musical legacy.
