Scene
More than 15 thousand visitors from Croatia and around the world gathered on Friday at Bundek, where the largest Lollipop spectacle in history was held. Zagreb hosted the legendary Black Eyed Peas for the first time, and their first Croatian concert turned into an evening that the audience will remember for a long time.
From the moment the doors opened at 5 pm, Bundek lived in a festival rhythm. Visitors arrived from all over Croatia and the region, Germany, Italy, America, Australia and numerous other European and world destinations. Thousands of people enjoyed the DJ program, rich gastronomic offer, festival content and great atmosphere throughout the day, which once again confirmed that Lollipop has outgrown the framework of a classic concert and has become a real music festival.
A great overture to the evening was provided by Baby Lasagna, who made the audience dance with his energetic performance and perfectly prepared the atmosphere for the arrival of one of the greatest bands of the 21st century.
And then came the long-awaited moment. When the Black Eyed Peas took the stage, Bundek exploded. Will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap and Taboo performed hit after hit, Pump It, Boom Boom Pow, Don’t Phunk With My Heart, Meet Me Halfway, Rock That Body and more. They entered the stage with the suitable hit song Let’s Get It Started and after that continued to create an atmosphere that made every person in the crowd feel connected. What added to the atmosphere was the production, a massive stage, big LED screens, lighting effects and great sound systems.
Black Eyed Peas being one of the biggest groups during the 2000s added to the overall nostalgic and warm feeling at the concert. The crowd moved enthusiastically throughout the evening despite it being extremely hot, which only showcases the kind of atmosphere the performers created. The last two songs performed were two of their most beloved ones: Where Is The Love andI Gotta Feeling, at that moment all the stage lights were turned off and the only thing lighting up the spectacle were flashlights from people’s phones.
The biggest Lollipop ever showed that Zagreb can organize world-class events and host the biggest musical names of today. More than 15,000 satisfied visitors, singing in unison, hugging each other, swaying from side to side with big smiles on their faces, a big stage with large LED screens and lighting effects that perfectly followed the atmosphere. This is a spectacle that will remain remembered for years to come.
