There is no "next evening". It's "the next evening", and in order to have "the next evening" there has to be a reference time, i.e., a previous evening.

I went out last Thursday evening, but I stayed in the next evening.

Thursday is the reference time, and the next evening refers to Friday evening.

You can also use the future the same way:
