7 Pop Culture Events You Need to Know About This Week, Including ‘The Kissing Booth 3’

It’s finally here, people: The premiere of The Kissing Booth 3 on Netflix. What? Don’t act like you haven’t been waiting for it with bated breath like I have. What college is Elle going to go to?! Will she choose to be with her boyfriend, Noah, or her best friend, Lee?! These are the thoughts that have kept me up at night, and I won’t be judged for them. 

But if you’re not a Kissing Booth fan (in other words, you’re joyless), there’s still plenty of pop culture happening this week to sink your teeth into. Below, check out the highlights: 

Sunday, August 8 

Devil’s Playground: If you’re caught up on the new Gossip Girl, then you saw the iconic venue where Zoya had her 15th birthday party: Webster Hall. And if you find yourself in New York City this year, you may be able to go yourself. Webster Hall—music haven, party paradise, etc. etc.—is back open and better than ever with a slew of events. Some recent ones include DJ Ty Sunderland’s Devil’s Playground, a utopian pop rave for the ages, and another party called Maruda. Azealia Banks is slated to perform at Webster Hall later this month, and Emo Nite—a staple event for scene kids everywhere—will make its return in September. Follow Webster Hall on Instagram. Follow Ty Sunderland on Twitter and Instagram.
