MUSIC: PLANET DESERT ROCK WEEKEND The sixth edition of Planet Desert Rock Weekend returns with one of its largest lineups yet, despite weathering a number of storms. The heavy-psych and stoner rock festival, which will bring 21 bands from nine countries to Downtown Las Vegas, was forced to switch its location to the Usual Place after Count’s Vamp’d closed last year, and founder John Gist says he’s experienced the most band cancellations ever this year due to U.S. immigration policies. But he’s persevered, bringing heavy underground acts like The Atomic Bitchwax, Spaceslug, The Well, Freedom Hawk, Black Water Rising and The Devil and the Almighty Blues to the stage. Some of these internationally recognized bands will perform their first U.S. shows while others will make their PDRW debuts after rocking for decades. This is a weekender of heavy, intimate shows and even rarer moments of discovery. Thru 2/1, 5 p.m., $50-$156, the Usual Place, eventbrite.com. –Amber Sampson

ARTS: LA BELLE ET LA BETE When Phillip Glass composed La Belle et la Bête in 1994, he took Jean Cocteau’s 1946 surrealist romantic fantasy film and replaced its original soundtrack with his own score. Where the norm in those days was to convert opera to film, Glass converted film into opera. Vegas City Opera brings the innovative work to life with baritone Jawan Jenkins as the Beast and mezzo-soprano Courtney Ankerfelt as Belle. Expect a mesmerizing fusion of cinema and live performance that breathes new life into Cocteau’s haunting, dreamlike imagery. 7 p.m. (& 1/31, 2 p.m.), $20-$35, Charleston Heights Arts Center, vegascityopera.org. –Shannon Miller

MISC: WORLD BAGEL EATING CHAMPIONSHIP Siegel’s Bagelmania’s fourth annual World Bagel Eating Championship isn’t going to be pretty, but it will be a spectacle. Deep down, we’re all at least a little curious to see how these competitive eaters will scarf down as many bagels as they possibly can without keeling over or hurling. Reigning champ Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, who gobbled up 15 bagels in eight minutes last year, will defend his title against six top-ranked eating athletes seeking the $10,000 prize. It’s going to be fierce—“Jaws” will be put to the test and one brave eater will emerge victorious. 11 a.m., free, Siegel’s Bagelmania, siegelsbagelmania.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: CHRIS STAPLETON His recent guest appearance on a podcast sparked rumors and headlines about the possibility of an early retirement, but for now, Chris Stapleton remains a force in country music. Since his 2015 debut Traveller and its breakout hit “Tennessee Whiskey,” the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has become a modern country staple. Even non-country fans can appreciate his gravelly, soulful delivery. Beyond the hits, Stapleton’s ballads like “Cold” and “Loving You On My Mind” dig deep, sonically anchoring the weight of true devotion. Whether this tour marks the end of an era or a brief break, Stapleton’s two-night stop at Park MGM will remind you why his music is impossible to overlook. 8 p.m., $415+, Dolby Live, ticketmaster.com. –Gabriela Rodriguez
