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 set included tracks from ‘The Cloud of Unknowing’ and the live debut of ‘Sacred Books’. While the omission of Max Cavalera-era classics like ‘Roots Bloody Roots’ drew mixed reactions from some fans, the show was noted for its energy and technical precision.

The band’s final official performance is scheduled for November 7, 2026, in São Paulo, Brazil. The event has undergone a venue change from the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu, which has a capacity of approximately 26,000, to the Suhai Music Hall, which accommodates just over 9,000 people. Despite the reduction in scale, the lineup remains unchanged, featuring opening acts Krisiun, Metal Allegiance, and Sacred Reich. 

Existing tickets for the original stadium venue remain valid for the new location, with seating redistributed based on original sectors. Fans unable to attend the new venue due to the change are eligible for a full refund. For online purchases, refund requests can be submitted between September 10 and September 28, 2026. The concert is intended to be a celebration of the band’s four decades of music.
