Metal Anarchy

During recent interview with Germany’s Metal Hammer, Sepultura’s Andreas Kisser discussed the band’s farewell tour. Notably, the guitarist also confirmed that their final show will take place “at the end of 2026.”

Kisser said the following:

“We are planning to do a very big show in São Paulo, Brazil, or in [SEPULTURA’s original hometown of] Belo Horizonte. We’re still balancing these ideas. But at the end of 2026, we’d like to do this last show. We’d like to stretch [out the tour]. There’s no reason for us to stop in a hurry just because we announced [the] last [tour] two years ago or so. We had a great time last year. This year is already looking great…. We’re doing Lollapalooza in South America — Brazil, Argentina and Chile. We have a few shows in Central America, a few festivals this year in Europe, a few special concerts. In 2026 we’d like to do all the big festivals and finish in Brazil.

It’s amazing. And it’s great to feel and to see that SEPULTURA is important in so many people’s lives. A lot of people are very emotional coming to the shows, remembering the first show or the first shirt, the first song they ever heard. Some people that met their wives in a SEPULTURA concert, they got married, they bring their kids. It’s amazing.

Heavy metal, it’s a big family, not only the SEPULTURA fans, but all the metal community. It’s a big family. And it’s great to see that a lot of people that never seen SEPULTURA before are coming to see SEPULTURA for the first time, which is great. And not only young people — people that are following SEPULTURA for so many years, they’ve never seen SEPULTURA live, and now that we say this is the last [tour we will do], they are leaving their houses to come to see us. So it’s great. We’re having the best times. And everything is the way it’s supposed to be, the way we planned — to celebrate. It’s not a sad or melancholic situation. We feel great. We are having the best time of our lives and celebrating. It’s a very thankful feeling for our fans.”
