Hodočasnik (Croatian for "Pilgrim") is the eighth studio album by Croatian rock musician Marko Perković Thompson. It was released on 13 June 2025 by Croatia Records,[1] twelve years after his previous studio album Ora et labora (2013).
The CD edition of the album is available in a digipak cover with a richly equipped booklet that contains the lyrics of all songs on 20 pages.[2]
Before the official release of the album, Thompson released several songs, including: "Ako ne znaš šta je bilo", "Nepročitano pismo", "Devedeset neke" and others. The song "Kralj Tomislav" was released to the public without authorization, which led to changes in the promotional plan. Originally, the release of the song "Preskočena crta" was planned as the next song.[3]
Touring
The first major performance of the songs from the album took place at Thompson's concert at the Zagreb Hippodrome on 5 July 2025, in which an estimated 450,000 people attended, while Thompson's manager claimed a total of 504,000 people showed up. The estimated 485,000 tickets sold broke the record for the highest number of single-night concert tickets ever sold.[4][5] A makeshift field hospital was set up in preparation for the event, featuring 200 patient beds and approximately 100 medical staff,[6] who were supported by 17 ambulance teams stationed around the concert venue,[6] along with 175 members of the Red Cross.[7] The city of Zagreb implemented a state of heightened preparedness for the concert, with police restricting traffic in the neighbourhoods surrounding the venue.[8]
