    Как дела?
    Как жизнь?
    Как успехи?

    I'd say:
    What's going on tonight? - Что будет сегодня ночью?
    There might be other translations but I cannot think of any more now.
    As for tdk2fe's go, your sentence has the following meaning: What will you have done tonight?
    сделаешь (in future) means that you will HAVE DONE sth by some time in future.
    I'd say: Что ты делаешь сегодня вечером (или ночью)? - What are doing tonight? What are you going to do tonight?

    ReD, thanks for the corrections. Would it also be possible to say:
    Что ты будешь делать сегодня вечером ? And if not, why? Thanks.

    It's more "What are you doing (gonna do) tonight" I think.

    I guess the reason i'm curious about it is because I thought that делать would imply present, and to talk about something in the future you need to add будеть before it.

    So, it makes sense, just not what people would normally say?

    It works just the same way as in English.

    делать = do

    What are you doing? = present
    Что вы делаете? = present

    What are you doing tonight? = future
    Что вы делаете вечером? = future

    I see, that makes sense. But in english we also say "What are you going to be doing tonight"... so would "будешь" basically take the place of "going to" (note: this is NOT a verb of motion) ?
