Encyclopedic overview
Marko Perković (born 27 October 1966), better known by his stage name Thompson, is a Croatian far-right nationalist rock singer-songwriter. Born in the village of Čavoglave, he participated in the Croatian War of Independence (1991–1995), during which he started his musical career with the nationalist song "Bojna Čavoglave" in 1991. He achieved commercial success during the late 1990s and early 2000s, with the albums Vjetar s Dinare (1998) and E, moj narode (2002). His domestic success continued with Bilo jednom u Hrvatskoj (2006), Ora et labora (2013), and Hodočasnik (2025). Perković leans strongly into traditional themes, singing about the Croatian homeland, family, and Christianity.
His song "Lijepa li si [hr]" became an unofficial Croatian anthem, often used in sports events, and since 2005, he has organized an unofficial celebration of Croatian Victory Day in his birthplace of Čavoglave. On 5 July 2025, Perković's concert at the Zagreb Hippodrome broke the world record for the highest number of concert tickets ever sold and the most attended ticketed concert ever, at half a million.
