MUSIC

Godsmack

The group’s tunes frequently register as a fist to the jaw and/or a roundhouse kick upside one’s melon, so it’s only fitting that Godsmack is hitting town to headline the “Official UFC International Fight Week Concert.” The Boston rockers — or rawkas, in their native tongue — are touring in support of their confidently titled latest record, “When Legends Rise.” Beat the count with Godsmack at 10 p.m. Friday at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel. Tickets are $49.50 to $195; call 800-745-3000.

MOVIES

‘Kung Fu Panda’

It’s spawned two sequels, a TV series and a holiday special. Now “Kung Fu Panda” is returning to theaters to entertain moviegoers who probably weren’t alive when it was released back in 2008. The animated comedy, featuring Jack Black as the voice of the titular martial arts fan, is playing as part of Cinemark’s Summer Movie Clubhouse. See it at 10 a.m. Monday through Thursday at Orleans, 10 a.m. Monday and Wednesday at Henderson’s Cinedome and 10 a.m. Wednesday at Sam’s Town and Suncoast. All screenings are $1.
