The amps are hot, the lights are low, and the rock is about to roll...
You are invited to the HPL Foundation's 16th Annual Mingle Murder Mystery Fundraiser, A Night at the Library - SLAYED: Secrets, Death, & Rock 'n' Roll at 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 18 at Hedberg Public Library.
The Show:
After years apart, SLAYED, the legendary band that once ruled the charts, is reuniting at the venue where it all began for a comeback tour that’s already sparking controversy. Check out the note that SLAYED's biggest fans got just a few weeks ago:
CALLING ALL MEMBERS OF SLAY NATION!
This is not a drill.
SLAYED is back and coming home to where it all began - the Main St. Stage - for ONE NIGHT ONLY.
It’s been 15 years since the breakup, but Jon, Paula, Trace, and Scottie have buried the hatchet and taken up their axes (and drums and bass…)!
Diehard members of the SLAY NATION like you are specially invited to a pre-show meet and greet and exclusive interview by local radio station WHPL!
Rumor is, SLAYED will even be debuting new songs from their first studio album since 2009’s Cackle Shack! Will these tracks rock us to the core like their double platinum single Y2Slayed from 1999 or 2006’s Nickel for Your Thoughts (Inflation)?
Don't miss your chance to find out with me and so many other fans! Grab your tickets today and prepare to rock.
DATE: Saturday, October 18, 2025
TIME: 7-10 p.m.
