The Four Horsemen - The only album-quality Metallica tribute

ADDITIONAL TICKETS MAY BE AVAILEABLE BY CALLING THE WILDEY TICKET OFFICE AT 618-307-1750
Dedication to excellence is what separates U.S. metal heroes THE FOUR HORSEMEN from the ocean of 'tribute' bands. The only album-quality Metallica tribute band on the planet, they deliver the unforgettable, note-for-note perfect experience that is guaranteed to surpass even the wildest dreams of Metallica aficionados. The speed, the precision, the signature riffs, and the look - THE FOUR HORSEMEN are the real deal!
They have the talent to deliver the sonic authenticity of the vintage thrash songs with high caliber execution - including the blistering vocals of the albums like no one else. No gimmicks on the stage. Just sheer energy, chest-pounding, crowd-pleasing power. The very same intensity that drew millions to Metallica in the 80's. Guitarist/vocalist Sean Perry explains; "Fans deserve the highest quality reproduction of Metallica's records and shows. That's why we're here."
Guided by his vision and determination, the band have become heroes to their ever-growing fan base in the U.S. and are now spreading their wings to take over the globe.
"I saw Metallica on the Black Album tour in 1991 and that experience changed me forever. The sound, the energy between band and audience - from that moment on I knew what I was put on earth to do. Music is my life!" says Sean. Little did he know that his thrasher heroes would play an even bigger part in his artistic future when he was approached by a Metallica tribute band looking for a new, charismatic front man in late 2006.
Every live performance they have done has received widespread acclaim; the band have taken the art of paying tribute to a new level of potency. Focusing on Metallica's first four, classic albums - Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice For All - with a smattering of anthems from the all-conquering Metallica/Black Album they deliver a show metal fans dream of.

Be warned: They are primed and ready to bring their high-energy show to stages around the world!

ANGEL

Don't miss Angel when they return to the intimate Wildey Theatre!


Employing a dazzling mix of glam rock, hard rock, and progressive rock, Angel's outrageous, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the-top stage shows, made them one of the more colorful arena rock bands of the mid-'70s and early '80s. Discovered by Kiss bass player Gene Simmons, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975, which hewed closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would inform future endeavors like On Earth as It Is in Heaven (1977) and Sinful (1979). The group went their separate ways in 1981, but re-formed in the late '90s with a new lineup, and released two studio albums (1999's In the Beginning and 2019's Risen) and numerous compilations.The band line up includes Punky Meadows, Frank DiMino, Danny Farrow, Steve E. Ojane, Billy Orrico, and Charlie Calv.
