SEPULTURA has officially announced their final North American tour, bringing an end to one of the most influential careers in heavy metal history. Appropriately titled “Celebrating Life Through Death,” the farewell run will serve as a final salute to fans after more than four decades of groundbreaking music, relentless touring, and global impact.
Hailing from Belo Horizonte, the quartet will spread Brazil’s colors and rhythms for a final time. Thrash metal legends EXODUS will join the tour as special guests, alongside hardcore heavyweights BIOHAZARD and rising newcomers TRIBAL GAZE, making each night a stacked and unmissable bill.
The tour kicks off on April 29 at The Wellmont Theater in Montclair, New Jersey, and will crisscross the U.S. and Canada, hitting major markets such as Montreal, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, and San Diego, before wrapping up on May 29 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. SEPULTURA will also appear at major festivals along the way, including Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple, adding even more weight to this historic run.
Tickets for the “Celebrating Life Through Death” tour go on sale January 23 at 10:00 a.m. local time, while VIP packages are available now via www.sepultura.com.br/tour.

* Festival date
With their latest opus, Quadra, an album that made a triumphant entry at No. 5 on the German chart and garnered over seventeen million streams on Spotify, the band originally hailing from Belo Horizonte has once again spread the colors and rhythms of Brazil worldwide. However, in late 2023, they announced their plan to unite their forces for one final, powerful farewell tour, bidding adieu to a 40-year existence.
For this final journey, SEPULTURA has enlisted the prodigious 23-year-old American virtuoso Greyson Nekrutman as their new drummer and together, this quartet has embarked on multiple tours across North America, Europe and Latin America, presenting a career-spanning set to their fans that honored the forty years of SEPULTURA. Yet their journey has not reached the final end yet and their farewell tour will see them celebrate their legacy on several continents until 2026.
To date, the band has unleashed fifteen studio albums upon the world, having sold over three million units in the United States and 20 million worldwide, thus earning multiple gold and platinum records in various corners of the globe, including France, Australia, Indonesia, Cyprus, and their home country. To this day, their magnum opus, Roots, has been streamed a staggering 225 million times on Spotify.
