Sepultura End Farewell Tour with Final Concert in Brazil: Video + Setlist
Sepultura have played the final concert of their farewell tour in São Paulo, closing more than 40 years of touring. The 32-song performance brought together current and former collaborators, including former guitarist Jairo Guedz, and marked the end of a tour that began in Brazil in March 2024.
The show at Suhai Music Hall on 7 November drew songs from 14 albums and featured guest musicians from bands including Chained Saint, Krisiun and Ratos de Porão. Several songs returned to the set after years away, while Guedz joined for three tracks. Although the tour was presented as a retirement, the band has said it may return in some form after an extended break.
In short
- Sepultura played their farewell tour’s final concert in São Paulo.
- The 32-song set spanned 14 albums.
- The band may return after an extended break.
Explained simply
Sepultura are a Brazilian heavy metal band formed in Belo Horizonte in 1984. They became known internationally for albums such as Beneath the Remains and Roots, and their music has drawn on thrash metal and Brazilian musical influences.
The group’s line-up has changed over the decades. Guitarist Andreas Kisser and singer-bassist Paulo Jr. are long-serving members, while drummer Greyson Nekrutman and singer Derrick Green are among the current line-up; former members have also remained part of the band’s history.
The farewell tour followed a career spanning more than four decades. The band has described the tour as a retirement, while leaving open the possibility of returning after a long break, so its ending marks a pause in touring rather than a clear statement that the name or music will never be used again.
