MISC: SIRENS  The Beverly Theater inaugurates its “Come for the Sound” film series with a one-night-only screening of Rita Baghdadi’s 2022 documentary Sirens, a snapshot of the life and career of a Beirut-based, all-female thrash metal group, the first such band to emerge from the Middle East. The five members of Slave to Sirens have bigger obstacles to overcome than underattended gigs and interpersonal struggles; they plug their amps into crumbling infrastructure and, to varying degrees, are forced to conceal their identities to avoid persecution at home. But as metal legend Rob Halford will tell you, metal is “a very empowering kind of music,” and it drives Slave to Sirens forward. (As a member of Slave to Sirens puts it: “If we don’t protect our right to sing today, we will surely lose our right to speak tomorrow.”) Produced by Maya Rudolph, Natasha Lyonne and Cobain: Montage of Heck producer Danielle Renfrew Behrens, Sirens is both a great film for Women’s History MARCH and a properly headbanging introduction to the Beverly’s peerless theater sound system. 7 p.m., $10, the Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: ADELE Recent reports have Adele extending her Colosseum residency at Caesars Palace with new dates later this year—likely coinciding with the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix—but even if she comes back, this weekend’s pair of scheduled finales will provide some sort of closure to one of the biggest and most dramatic entertainment events in the history of the Strip. Of course, the drama began before the show, with Weekends With Adele shifting from a January-April 2022 run to an opening in November and additional dates added into the mix. But once she finally took the stage, it’s been all about the right kind of drama, a 90-minute concert production befitting its iconic venue that starts with classy minimalism and builds gradually, with fire, water and more, into the full spectacle that was always expected. Adele has walked the aisles, talked with fans and even fired T-shirts into the crowd. She did what she came to do and then some, keeping her first residency all about the voice and the emotion that wraps around her music. Why wouldn’t she sign on for more? 8 p.m., & 3/25, the Colosseum, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

ARTS: THREE ART EXHIBITS Sahara West Library’s museum-sized gallery space is currently hosting three outstanding shows of local art, and while each employs a different medium—collage, painting and photography—they mix together nicely. The beautifully textured, jumbo-sized “playing cards” of Raphaele Cohen-Bacry’s The Only Game in Town are made with bits of wallpaper and slivered photographs of famous artworks from auction magazines, walking the line between familiarity and abstraction. Kathleen Nathan’s Upstate; Revisiting the Roadways of Upstate New York is a photographic road trip that’s also an affecting visual record of American quirkiness, conflict and decline. And the giant paintings of A Corporate Spy’s Supervivencia are art as widescreen cinema, as sprawling landscape; you can either admire them from across the room as the vibrant pop-culture epics they are, or get in close and let your head swim in their intricate details. Through May 20, free, Sahara West Library, thelibrarydistrict.org/gallery-exhibits. –Geoff Carter
