Fans began gathering on the streets of Zaprešić hours before the concert, singing Thompson's songs. Many attendees arrived dressed in black, carrying flags, and sporting fashion accessories featuring the Croatian checkerboard motif, a common display of national pride at his events. The concert is expected to feature a lavish production and a mix of Thompson's classic hits alongside songs from his latest album, "Hodočasnik."
