Brazilian/American metallers SEPULTURA are set to celebrate their 40th anniversary with a global “farewell tour,” titled “Celebrating Life Through Death.” The 18-month tour is scheduled to kick off in March 2024, marking a significant moment in the band’s history. The tour will commence in Brazil and expand to cover Latin America and the United States, with additional dates to be revealed later.
Says SEPULTURA: “After four 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!”
