Sepultura close their career with a 32-song final show in São Paulo

Sepultura played the last concert of their career on 7 November 2026 at the Suhai Music Hall in São Paulo, Brazil. The show also closed the “Celebrating Life Through Death” tour, with Metal Allegiance, Sacred Reich and Krisiun as opening acts.

According to Loudwire, citing setlist.fm, the band played 32 songs, against roughly two dozen per night earlier on the tour. The set included “Roots Bloody Roots”, “Territory”, “Refuse/Resist”, “Arise” and “Ratamahatta”, and drew on almost every studio album, from 1986’s “Morbid Visions” to 2020’s “Quadra”, as well as all of the 2026 EP “The Cloud of Unknowing” except “Sacred Books”. Several songs returned after long breaks: “Itsári” for the first time since 1998, “Reza” since 2005 and “Altered State” since 2013.

Guests included guitarist Andreas Kisser’s son Yohan on “Convicted in Life”, Krisiun guitarist Moyses Kolesne, drummer Amilcar Christofaro, Ratos de Porão for two covers of their own songs, and former guitarist Jairo Guedz. The final line-up was Andreas Kisser, singer Derrick Green, bassist Paulo Jr. and drummer Greyson Nekrutman. When the band announced the show in May, it was booked for the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu, also in São Paulo, before moving venues.

Formed in 1984 in Belo Horizonte, Sepultura played thrash, death and groove metal. Their last concert in Romania was on 3 August 2025 at Râșnov Citadel.
