Sepultura Play Final Show At Massively Downgraded Venue
Sepultura’s farewell show took place at a much smaller venue than planned, moving from São Paulo’s Pacaembu Stadium to Suhai Music Hall. The change underscored the gap between the grand send-off the band had envisioned and the current line-up’s standing, without founding members Max and Iggor Cavalera, whose participation was declined.
The Pacaembu has capacity for 26,000, compared with 9,000 at Suhai Music Hall; the Cavalera brothers’ absence meant the reunion many fans might have hoped for did not happen. The band still played a 32-song career-spanning set, joined by musicians from several other groups and early guitarist Jairo Guedz, while the announced openers performed.
In short
- Sepultura’s final show moved to a venue with about a third of the planned capacity.
- The Cavalera brothers declined an invitation to take part.
- The band played 32 songs with guest musicians.
