The Big 4 Tribute

A tribute to Iron Maiden, Saxon, Motörhead and Judas Priest!

The Big-4 Tribute Concept is driven by the producer and multi-instrumentalist J. “Berget” Bergman. Bergman, who is seen regularly in bands such as MAN MACHINE INDUSTRY when he is not in the studio or traveling around Europe as a touring drum technician/stage manager.

In 2020, “Berget” and Ken Stone (The Knockouts) started the first band under the Big-4 concept. The choice of artists to honor was obvious to both of them. The tribute would be to the four bands that were the starting point for: NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL, or NWOBHM as it was called.
Of course, we’re talking about IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, MOTÖRHEAD, and SAXON.
The song repertoire is ENORMOUS and the band tries to stick to the golden age of 1976-1986.

The band performs a concert of 1 hour 30 minutes and lets itself be inspired by the bands’ 80s era with dedication, energy, and superior playing joy that is contagious. The show contains everything one could wish from a, then, young Maiden/Priest/Motörhead/Saxon. The hits follow one after another seamlessly, and the goal is to have the audience have fun, remember, enjoy and headbang.

BIG-4 (founders) OF NWOBHM consists of a group of seasoned musicians such as
J. BERGMAN – Guitar (MAN MACHINE INDUSTRY)
KEN STONE – Guitar (THE KNOCKOUTS)
