Heavy on Haynies Metal Show Returns to Evansville This Summer

Things are going to get heavy in the Haynie's Corner Arts District this summer, and it's all for a good paws cause!

A Night of Metal Mayhem for a Good Cause

Evansville Shows, Middle Management Records, Haynie's Corner Arts District, and 103 GBF are excited to announce the return of Heavy on Haynies. This outdoor all-ages metal show in Evansville, Indiana, is completely free to attend, and you're invited.

Rain or Shine - Weather Won’t Stop the Metal This Year

While the inaugural Heavy on Haynies in 2024 was rained out before the bands could take the stage, organizers have taken precautions to ensure that doesn't happen again. So while this isn't the first event for organizers, 2025 will be the first free, live outdoor metal show in Evansville.

Helping Local Animals With Every Riff

With locations in Vanderburgh and Spencer Counties in Indiana, and the newest location in Owensboro, in Daviess County, Kentucky, It Takes a Village works hard to continue its mission "to work as one in helping animals irrespective of breed, location or circumstance, while also supporting the people who love animals." The 501 c 3 non-profit has saved the lives of thousands of animals since its inception.

In addition to the live music, Heavy on Haynies will also be packed with tons of vendors and food trucks. Plus, It Takes a Village will be on hand selling animal rescue merchandise. Grab your friends for a night of metal and help save some mutts too!
