Pat Benatar, a 3D Titanic, and the hillside rolls into weekend five.

Tuesday is the night this week bends around. Bryan Adams plays Moody Center with Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo opening, while eight blocks south the Paramount runs Titanic in 3D, so pick your flavor of nostalgia and commit. Moody stays busy Wednesday when K-pop group IVE brings their world tour through, and the Paramount answers with Strangers on a Train, the third Hitchcock of the summer. Singin' in the Rain opens weekend five on the Zilker hillside Thursday, past the halfway mark now with the crowds settling into a rhythm. It is late July in Austin, which means everything below assumes triple-digit afternoons and plans that start after dark.

The marquee

• Tue July 28, 7:30 PM · From $45
  Bryan Adams with Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo
  Moody Center, 2001 Robert Dedman Dr
  The Roll With the Punches tour lands in Austin with an opener who could headline the same room. Benatar and Giraldo play a full set before Adams takes the stage, which makes the early arrival actually matter for once. Two catalogs of radio staples in one air-conditioned arena on a Tuesday is a fair trade for a late bedtime.
• Tue July 28, 7:00 PM · $15
  Titanic in 3D at the Paramount
  Paramount Theatre, 713 Congress Ave
  The summer series pulls out the big one, all three-plus hours of it, in 3D on the Congress Avenue screen. We flagged this one two weeks ago and it remains the correct pick for anyone who saw it in a mall theater in 1997 and wants the full-room version. Budget for the runtime; you will be out near 10:30.
• Thu-Sun, 8:15 PM (through Aug 15) · Free

  Beverly S. Sheffield Hillside Theater, Zilker Park
  Weekend five of seven, and the run is settling into its late-summer groove. The cast knows every beat by now and the hillside crowds have thinned from the July peak. Blankets down by 7:30 still beats chairs, and Thursday remains the quietest night.

ATX Weekly tip

For the Moody shows Tuesday and Wednesday, prepay parking through the Moody Center app before you leave the house; the closest garages sell out by early evening on arena nights and the walk-up rate is worse anyway. Better still, get dropped at the Dean Keeton rideshare zone and walk five minutes. If you are doing the Tuesday double feature math, Titanic starts at 7 and runs long, so it is one or the other, not both.

A Tuesday with Pat Benatar on one stage and a 3D iceberg on another is a good problem to have. Pick one, hydrate, and we will see you on the hillside. — The ATX Weekly Editors
