Sepultura São Paulo 2026: The Farewell
The Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu hosts the final chapter on November 7 — gates open at 3 p.m. for an evening built as a celebration, not a wake.
The venue carries the history: Sepultura’s iconic early-1990s concert at Praça Charles Miller, in front of the stadium, helped cement the band’s force in Brazil.
Four Decades of Brazilian Metal
Formed in Belo Horizonte in 1984, Sepultura became the most internationally recognized Brazilian rock band ever, through landmarks like ‘Beneath the Remains’, ‘Chaos A.D.’ and ‘Roots’.
The farewell tour ‘Celebrating Life Through Death’ has run since 2024, and the final EP ‘The Cloud of Unknowing’ arrived in April 2026.
A Night of Guests — and One Open Question
The bill pairs the band with Brazilian death-metal veterans Krisiun, US thrash survivors Sacred Reich and Metal Allegiance, the all-star project featuring Mike Portnoy, Alex Skolnick, Chuck Billy, Phil Demmel and Troy Sanders.
Former members Jean Dolabella and Jairo Guedz are expected to join the celebration; founding brothers Max and Igor Cavalera remain unconfirmed.
