Marko Perkovic

Marko Perkovic

musician Croatia

Marko Perkovic, known as Thompson, is a controversial Croatian singer recognized for his nationalist themes and open support for the Ustaša regime that ruled Croatia during World War II. His music often evokes sentiments associated with this regime, and his concerts are marked by displays of fascist symbols and gestures. Recently, he made headlines for selling over 500,000 tickets for a concert scheduled in Zagreb, which is set to be the largest paid concert in history. Despite being banned from performing in several European countries due to his extremist views, his popularity continues to rise among certain segments of the population, reflecting a growing tolerance for far-right sentiments in Croatian society.
