Grammy Award-winning artist La Roux and singer-songwriter Jade LeMac are set to open. 7 p.m. at iThink Financial Amphitheatre, 601-7 Sansburys Wy., West Palm Beach; 561-795-8883; ithinkfiamp.com.

Todd Rundgren at The Parker
It’s been more than half a century since Todd Rundgren released his debut studio album, “Runt,” and the prolific musician and songwriter is still going strong. In the past decade alone, he’s collaborated with artists as musically diverse as Robyn, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, and the Lemon Twigs. He’ll bring that playful spirit — and some of his best-known hits — to The Parker Tuesday night as part of his Damned If I Do Tour. 7:30 p.m. at The Parker, 707 NE Eighth St., Fort Lauderdale; 954-462-0222; browardcenter.org.

World Cup Kickoff Pool Party at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

“The Art of Language: Celebrating the Aesthetic and Intellectual Beauty of Words” at ArtServe
What happens when the written word becomes art all its own? ArtServe’s latest exhibition, “The Art of Language: Celebrating the Aesthetic and Intellectual Beauty of Words,” explores exactly that, tracing the line between fine art and language through works that draw on poetry, storytelling, and the visual power of text on a surface. Friday is the opening reception for the exhibition, which runs through August 28. 6 p.m. at ArtServe, 1350 E. Sunrise Blvd., Fort Lauderdale; 954-462-8190; artserve.org. Admission is free with RSVP via eventbrite.com.
