Marko Perković Thompson
Marko Perković (pronounced [mâːrkɔ perkoʋit͡ɕ]; born 27 October 1966) is a Croatian musician who has been the lead singer of the band Thompson since 1991.
Perković was born in the village of Čavoglave, SR Croatia, within SFR Yugoslavia, today a part of Croatia. He participated in the Croatian War of Independence (1991–95), during which he started his career with the nationalist song "Bojna Čavoglave". In 2002, he started his first major tour after the release of the E, moj narode album. Since 2005, he has been organizing an unofficial celebration of the Victory Day in his birthplace of Čavoglave.
During his career, Perković has attracted controversy in the media over his performances and songs, some of which glorify or promote the World War II-era Croatian fascist Ustaše dictatorship.
His concert at the Zagreb Hippodrome, which will be held in 5 July 2025, holds the record for the highest number of concert tickets ever sold.
