After more than 40 years of shaping the global metal scene, SEPULTURA has cemented its legacy as one of the most influential metal acts in history. With 14 gold records and a career spanning 80 countries, the Brazilian legends have become true ambassadors of their genre, bringing their intense sound and cultural impact to fans worldwide.
Now, as part of their farewell tour, SEPULTURA have revealed what is set to be their biggest Irish headline show ever. The band will take the stage at Dublin’s 3Arena on Sunday, August 9, 2026, for what they’ve billed as their final European concert.
Fans can expect a monumental night, with very special guests BIOHAZARD, MALEVOLENCE, SACRED REICH, and CRYPTA joining the bill.
Commenting on the announcement, SEPULTURA said: “Dublin! We couldn’t think of a better place to play our final ever European show than your beautiful city, and to be joined by our friends in BIOHAZARD, MALEVOLENCE, SACRED REICH, and CRYPTA will make this an event not to be missed. See you next August!”
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.
