Happening Friday
FAMILY
Christmas Tours There’s no better time to visit the historic 1929 Adamson House than during these annual tours, which showcase the site’s original furnishings and feature holiday music, refreshments and a handcrafted present for each guest. Proceeds support the museum. Adamson House, 23200 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu. 7:30 p.m. $15 (reservations required). (310) 456-8432. https://www.adamsonhouse.org.
MUSIC
Dir En Grey Metal has been on an artistic resurgence of late, but these Japanese growlers have been at it for decades. Their sound veers from more rock-inclined tunes to very avant-garde, and their new album, “Dum Spiro Spero,” is the occasion for another blistering live tour. House of Blues, 8430 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood. 8 p.m. $29.50. https://www.houseofblues.com/venues/clubvenues/losangeles/.
Sweet and Tender Hooligans Just because the Smiths broke up in 1987 doesn’t mean the curtain has to drop. Thanks to the band’s premiere tribute act, which has been paying homage to Morrissey’s pioneering indie-pop outfit for nearly 20 years, you can still hear such songs as “Girlfriend in a Coma” and “This Charming Man” live. House of Blues Anaheim, 1530 S. Disneyland Drive, Anaheim. 8 p.m. $19.50. https://www.houseofblues.com/venues/clubvenues/anaheim/.
