Sadly, the series of farewell tours continues as Sepultura has now announced the beginning of the end of their historic career. We have just shared four bands who have recently called it quits. For Sepultura, we’re unsure if there are plans to immortalize the group, similar to the future of “The KISS experience,” or going out like Slayer or Mr. Big’s Big Finish Tour, with an extensive touring cycle. However, we know they are on their way to bid farewell for the next eighteen months (at least). The beginning of the end for Sepultura will be a celebration of their forty-year farewell by embarking on a Celebrating Life Through Death European tour with special guests Jinjer, Obituary, and Jesus Piece. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday (13th) at 10:00 CET.
The group issued the following statement:
“Sepultura has reached the end of the road and has chosen to depart via a conscious and planned death. Throughout the next 18 months we will celebrate 40 years of existence together along with our loyal fans on a farewell tour across the entire globe. It will be a celebration of the past and the present for one final time. After 4 decades filled with ups and downs, having visited 80 countries and countless different cultures, we’ve had the chance to become Brazil’s messenger to the world and spread our colors and rhythms worldwide. With our latest studio album Quadra, a highlight of our career, we added an unforgettable chapter followed by the SepulQuarta experience that helped us to overcome the difficult times of the pandemic together. We will unite our forces for one final, strong farewell. And all of you can be a part of it. During this 40th anniversary tour, we will record 40 live tracks in 40 different cities and release a massive compilation of our best, most energetic moments on stage. We are happy and very grateful for everything we could witness within the past four decades. We have released great albums and played unforgettable shows, cultivated friendships, met our idols, contributed to placing Brazilian metal on the world map, and therefore feel that we can leave the music scene with a sense of duty fulfilled. We’ve always had the best fans in the world, who supported us with praise and criticism, who were demanding and intelligent, who grew together with the band and have always been loyal. Without you, none of this would have been possible. This album and this tour are for you. Dear SepulNation – we love you and always will! Euthanasia, the right to a dignified death. The right to choose to live free and to choose when you die!”
