Sepultura’s final-ever concert in São Paulo, scheduled for November 7, 2026, has been relocated from the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu to the Suhai Music Hall, according to an announcement by Live Nation Brasil. The venue change reduces the event capacity from approximately 26,000 to just over 9,000 fans, though organizers confirmed that the concert lineup and ticket validity remain unchanged.
Venue Downsize and Ticket Details at Suhai Music Hall
According to Live Nation Brasil, fans who already purchased tickets for the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu concert do not need to buy new tickets, as existing admissions remain valid for the new location at Suhai Music Hall. Ticket holders unable to attend the farewell show due to the venue change can request a refund through official ticketing channels. Despite the capacity reduction, the heavy metal band’s historic farewell lineup features Krisium, Sacred Reich, and Metal Allegiance performing alongside Sepultura.
Historical Significance of Pacaembu and the Farewell Tour
Sepultura’s original choice of the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu carried substantial historical significance, as the stadium reopened on January 25, 2025, following a major redevelopment that demolished the iconic “Tobogã” section, according to local reports. The venue’s connection to the group dates back to the early 1990s, when Sepultura performed an iconic concert at Praça Charles Miller directly in front of the stadium during their rise to international prominence. The November 7, 2026 event serves as a celebration of the band’s four-decade career, with former members Jean Dolabella and Jairo Guedz expected to participate in the milestone performance.
Guitarist Andreas Kisser on Life After Sepultura
Guitarist Andreas Kisser discussed the band’s decision to step away and the creative freedom that follows during an interview with Jarek Szubrycht at Poland’s Mystic Festival. Kisser noted that the group never stopped working since he joined in 1987, creating an album even during pandemic lockdowns. Regarding his future plans, Kisser stated that he intends to focus on other musical ventures, including his band De La Tierra, a long-running radio show in São Paulo with his son, and potential collaborative projects, including a possible reggae project with frontman Derrick Green.
