Sepultura farewell tour announcement
Overview
Heavy metal band Sepultura has announced a farewell tour, a decision attributed to guitarist Andreas Kisser. Vocalist Derrick Green stated the group intends to end their activities while they are still at a high point to avoid future health issues or internal conflicts, noting a desire to exit the stage on positive terms. As part of their ‘Celebrating Life Through Death’ tour, the band recently performed a farewell set at Rock in Rio. Despite heavy rain, the performance focused on the era featuring vocalist Derrick Green, highlighting songs released from 1998 onwards.
The band’s final official performance is scheduled for November 7, 2026, in São Paulo, Brazil. This event has undergone a venue change from the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu to the Suhai Music Hall, which accommodates just over 9,000 people. As of October 2026, the relocated final show at Suhai Music Hall is officially sold out. The lineup for the final show includes opening acts Krisiun, Metal Allegiance, and Sacred Reich.
In preparation for the conclusion of the tour, Sepultura has announced a penultimate performance titled ‘The Last Ceremony’. This intimate show will take place at Cine Joia in São Paulo on November 5, 2026. Unlike the final concert, the ‘Last Ceremony’ will not feature any opening guests.
