A concert that is talked about for a long time

Split in the winter rhythm can be just as exciting as in the middle of the season, and when Marko Perković - Thompson arrives in town, the energy is felt even days before the performance itself. The concert is held at the GRIPE Sports Center in Split, and according to the announced schedule, the audience can expect an evening of great choruses, strong emotions, and that special togetherness that often turns into mass singing from the very first beats in his indoor concerts. The ticket is valid for 1 day, which significantly simplifies planning the arrival, but at the same time increases the pressure on demand because interest is usually concentrated on one night and one entry. Ticket sales for such a concert usually go quickly, so it is wise to plan ahead, especially if you are coming from outside Split or want to choose the stand and viewing angle. Secure your tickets for this event immediately and click the button labeled

to plan all the details of your arrival in peace.

Musical identity and reasons why the audience comes in large numbers

Thompson's concert identity relies on a mix of rock and folk rock, with a recognizable emphasis on patriotic motifs, spiritual themes, and stories that the audience experiences personally, whether through family memories or collective memories. In his performances, the sense of belonging is important, and that is exactly what often draws people who otherwise rarely go to concerts, but want to experience the atmosphere accompanied by loud singing, flags, a shared rhythm, and a powerful emotional culmination in the choruses. The peculiarity is also that the repertoire naturally fits the hall format: it is powerful enough for large sound systems, and at the same time melodic enough for the hall to carry it even when the audience takes over part of the song. That is why tickets for this event are more than just an entry, they are also a ticket to an experience in which the concert turns into a kind of shared ritual, with moments of quieter ballads and explosions of energy on the most famous songs. If you want to be part of that wave, buying tickets on time reduces stress and leaves more room for pleasant preparation of the trip and accommodation. In planning your stay, the option Accommodation near the venue comes in handy, especially if you want to stay in the city even after the concert.

From Čavoglave to the halls: a path that shaped the repertoire

The career of Marko Perković - Thompson is inextricably linked to the early nineties and the beginning of public activity in war circumstances, and the nickname Thompson is linked to the period of the Homeland War and the weapon he carried then, which later became part of his public recognition. Over the years, he created songs that became part of a wider social space, so individual titles are regularly heard outside the concert stages, for example in fan and sports occasions, at gatherings or in media retrospectives. In his discography, albums and songs that marked the late nineties and early two thousands stand out, with a constant thread of a recognizable voice and emphasized choruses, which in a concert sense is ideal for halls like Gripe. At the same time, the public space around Thompson's work can be polarized, so a discussion about symbols and interpretations of individual songs or performances occasionally opens in the media, but regardless of different attitudes, interest in concerts often remains very high. That is why tickets can disappear faster than expected, especially when additional dates are announced in a short period or when the first date shows high demand. If you are coming from another county or planning a group arrival, it pays off to secure tickets on time and organize logistics, and for staying overnight in the city, it is practical to check Accommodation offers in Split for concert visitors to avoid later price increases and a lack of available capacities.

What the evening might look like: performance dramaturgy and the flow of the concert

Indoor concerts of this type are most often structured as a journey through several emotional stages, from a strong entrance and songs that immediately get the audience on their feet, through the middle part with an emphasis on melody and singing together, to the finale which turns into a culmination of hits. With Thompson, the audience generally expects a combination of patriotic classics, songs that carry a religious or spiritual note, and ballads that create moments of complete silence in the hall before the chorus turns into a collective choir again. In Gripe, this gets an additional dimension because the hall is large enough for sound and light to provide a spectacle, but still close enough to feel the contact between the audience and the stage, especially in the stands that have a good view at a slight angle. In such a program, there is often room for longer instrumental transitions, band introductions, and more spontaneous moments with the audience, and those very parts often remain in memory as the personal points of the evening. Tickets are therefore also a way to secure a place in a story that takes place not only on stage, but also in the audience, where every song gets an additional voice through thousands of people. Tickets for this concert are disappearing quickly, so buy tickets on time and plan your arrival without last moments and uncertainty.

Gripe Hall as a stage: capacity, impression, and viewing experience

The Gripe Sports Center is not just another hall on the map, but a place with a long tradition of sports and entertainment events, and this very multifunctionality makes it suitable for concerts that require both volume and control. The large hall has a capacity of about 6000 seats, which in a concert context creates an impression of massiveness without losing clarity, and the arrangement of the stands allows a good view of the stage even from higher levels. In practice, this means that the choice of seat on the ticket is not just a formality, because different positions offer a different experience: someone wants to be closer to the sound impact and rhythm, someone prefers a wider shot and a stable view, and someone chooses a compromise for an easier exit after the concert. A special advantage of Gripe is also that the complex was designed as city infrastructure, so it is surrounded by approaches that facilitate the flow of the audience, although it is always recommended to arrive early for large concerts. If you plan to stay in the city, it is useful to look in advance at Accommodation for event visitors near the hall, because after the concert it is most pleasant to have a short route to bed, especially on winter evenings. Buy tickets via the button below and choose the place that suits you best, because exactly details like the view, approach, and rhythm of entry can determine how carefree your evening will be.

Split in January: city context and the experience before the concert

A concert in Split is always also a city event, because the audience naturally spills through the streets, cafes, and main city points before and after the performance, so it is felt that an evening many are waiting for is in progress. In January, Split is different than in summer, calmer and more authentic, which gives visitors the opportunity to experience the city without crowds, with a walk along the riva, a tour of the old city core, and short breaks for warm refreshment before going to the hall. Such a context often enhances the experience, because the concert becomes the central event of the trip, not a passing stop in an overcrowded schedule, so people devote more time to socializing and preparation. In practice, this means that tickets and travel plans go hand in hand, because once you secure the tickets, it is easier to put the day together, from arrival in the city to the evening entry into Gripe. If you are coming earlier or staying overnight, it pays to consider Accommodation offers in the host city, because a good location reduces the need for driving and allows you to experience Split more relaxedly. Precisely this combination of the city and the hall makes a concert in Gripe not just a performance, but a whole small urban event with its own rhythm.

Practical information for visitors: arrival, entry, and organization of the evening

The Gripe Sports Center is located at Osječka 11 in Split, and as a large city complex, it has clearly recognizable approaches, but on the day of the concert, one should still count on a higher frequency of traffic and pedestrian flows in the surroundings. The best recipe for a carefree entry is arriving earlier, because this avoids nervousness at the entrances and leaves room for checking the sector, finding the seat, or arranging with the crew if you are coming in a group. Since the ticket is valid for 1 day, the evening is most often planned as a compact outing, so it is recommended to agree on a meeting place and return plan in advance, especially if you are staying further from the hall. At large concerts, it is useful to have a document at hand and save the ticket in an accessible form, because a quick pass through control also depends on the readiness of the audience, and crowds are created fastest when people only start organizing at the entrance. In winter conditions, one should also think about layered clothing, because the hall can be warm due to the mass of people, while it is significantly colder outside, and that transition is most unpleasant right after the concert.

, and then plan your arrival, accommodation, and return without haste so that the whole evening goes smoothly.

Tickets and audience interest: what an additional date means and how to position yourself

The great interest in such concerts is often seen already in the first hours of sale, and precisely the dynamics of demand is one of the reasons why additional dates in the same city are sometimes announced. In the case of Split, media announcements state that after rapid interest for the first announced concert, an additional concert date in the Gripe hall was added, which gives the audience a new chance to get tickets, but at the same time confirms how sought-after the tickets are. Such a situation usually means that tickets are bought in waves: part of the audience reacts immediately, part waits for the crew's agreement, and part gets involved only when they hear impressions or see that the capacities in certain zones are nearing the end. That is why it is useful to think practically and not rely on the last moment, because when the story about the concert heats up, tickets can become rare exactly when the trip or a free weekend fits you best. Considering that the ticket is valid for 1 day, the goal for many is to make a one-day trip, but in that case, one should count on a late return and fatigue, so staying overnight is often a more comfortable option if you are coming from afar. Buying tickets via the button

is the fastest way to secure your place, and then you can peacefully put together the rest of the plan and choose the pace of the evening that suits you best.

Who is this concert particularly interesting to and how to get the most out of the experience

A concert like this attracts a diverse audience, from long-time fans who have been following the repertoire for decades to those who come for the specific atmosphere and the desire to live-experience songs known to them from family and social environments. If you are the type who likes to sing, it is worth saving your voice and energy, because the indoor format encourages singing together, and the most impressive moments are often precisely those when the whole hall takes over the chorus and the band just holds the foundation. If you are coming as a pair or as a group, it is good to agree on priorities in advance, whether you want to be focused on the stage or if the social part of the evening is more important to you, because that affects the choice of place and how much earlier you want to come. For families and older audiences, it is generally more comfortable to have a clear seat and a stable view, while those eager for intensity will more often look for positions with a greater sense of proximity and energy, and that is another reason why tickets should be bought on time. The advice for visitors from outside Split is to also think about rest after the concert, because emotions and adrenaline stay for a long time, so it is good to have a peaceful return or overnight option. If you want to combine the concert and a small city escape, look at Accommodation in Split for a weekend arrival and arrange the stay so that the concert is the central moment, and the rest of the time a pleasant supplement.

After the last song: the rhythm of departure and the evening that continues in the city

When the concert ends, the impression does not fade immediately, because the audience stays in conversation for a long time, shares recordings and comments, and slowly leaves the hall in waves, depending on the sector and seat position. In Gripe, this usually takes place gradually, so it is useful not to rush, but to allow the main flow to disperse, especially if you parked nearby or need to catch transport, because patience at that moment often saves nerves. Split even in the winter months offers enough places for a short settling of impressions, from a walk to the center to a short stop at some warm point of the city, and many right after the concert feel that familiar urge to extend the evening and turn it into a night out. If you have come from afar, staying overnight is often the most reasonable choice, because after a large concert, fatigue arrives only when the adrenaline drops, so it is good to have a plan that does not depend on a quick departure. In that sense, it is useful to have a reserve in advance through Accommodation for visitors near the center and the hall, so that you can close the evening without haste and return home in peace the next day. For everyone who has not yet secured a place in the hall, ticket sales are available, and clicking the button

leads you straight to the purchase of tickets and planning an evening that is remembered for a long time in Split.

Culture & events desk

The editorial team for arts, music and events brings together journalists and volunteers who have spent years living alongside stages, clubs, festivals and all those spaces where art and audience meet. Our writing comes from long-standing journalistic experience and genuine involvement in cultural life: from endless evenings in concert halls, from conversations with musicians before and after performances, from improvised press corners at festivals, from premieres that end with long discussions in theatre corridors, but also from small, intimate events that attract only a handful of curious people yet remain engraved in their memory for a lifetime.

In our newsroom write people who know what a stage looks like when the lights go out, how the audience breathes while waiting for the first note, and what happens behind the curtain while instruments or microphones are still being adjusted. Many of us have spent years standing on stage ourselves, participating in programme organisation, volunteering at festivals or helping artist friends present their projects. This experience from both sides of the stage gives us the ability to view events not merely as items in a calendar, but as living encounters between creators and audiences.

Our stories do not stop at who performed and how many people attended. We are interested in the processes that precede every appearance before the public: how the idea for a concert or festival is born, what it takes for a comedy to reach its audience, how much time is spent preparing an exhibition or a multimedia project. In our texts we try to convey the atmosphere of the space, the energy of the performers and the mood of the audience, as well as the context in which all this happens – why a certain performance is important, how it fits into the broader music or art scene, and what remains after the venue empties.

The editorial team for arts, music and events builds its credibility on persistence and long-term work. Behind us are decades of writing, editing, talking with artists and observing how scenes change, how some styles come to the forefront while others retreat into the background. This experience helps us distinguish fleeting hype from events that truly push boundaries and leave a mark. When we give something space, we strive to explain why we believe it deserves attention, and when we are critical, we explain our reasons, aware of the effort behind every project.

Our task is simple and demanding at the same time: to be reliable witnesses of cultural and entertainment life, to write honestly toward the audience and honestly toward performers. We do not deal in generic praise; we aim to precisely describe what we see and hear, knowing that every text may be someone’s first encounter with a certain band, festival, comedian or artist. The editorial team for arts, music and events therefore exists as a place where all these encounters are recorded, interpreted and passed on – humanly, clearly and with respect for the very reason it exists at all: the live, real event in front of a real audience.
