SEPULTURA has announced its final show, set for November 7, 2026, at the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu in São Paulo, Brazil. The event will mark the end of the band's 42-year career, following a global farewell tour that began on March 1, 2024, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The tour features drumming duties by Greyson Nekrutman, who joined the band after previously playing with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES. Previous drummer Eloy Casagrande officially departed on February 27, 2024, to join SLIPKNOT, a move that surprised the band, which described the departure as abrupt and unexpected.
The farewell tour includes a lineup of major metal acts, with METAL ALLEGIANCE headlining. The band will feature Mike Portnoy of DREAM THEATER, Alex Skolnick and Chuck Billy of TESTAMENT, Phil Demmel of MACHINE HEAD, Troy Sanders of MASTODON, and bassist Mark Menghi. KRISIUN and SACRED REICH will also perform. Former members Jean Dolabella and Jairo Guedz are expected to join the celebration.
In addition to the tour, SEPULTURA is recording a live album that will compile 40 tracks from performances in 40 different cities, capturing the band's most energetic stage moments. The band recently released an EP titled "The Cloud Of Unknowing" via Nuclear Blast Records. The project coincides with the band's 40th anniversary, which was celebrated with the announcement of the farewell tour.
The band has also confirmed that its final show will be a global event, with performances scheduled across continents, marking the end of a storied career that spanned more than 80 countries.
