Headline: Sepultura Postpones Farewell Tour Amid Internal Disagreements
The iconic Brazilian metal band Sepultura has announced the postponement of their highly anticipated farewell tour, originally scheduled to mark their 40th anniversary. In a statement shared with fans, the band cited “internal disagreements” as the primary reason for the delay, leaving many supporters disappointed and speculating about the group’s future.
Sources close to the band suggest that the disagreements stem from creative differences between key members over how the farewell tour should be executed. While Andreas Kisser reportedly wanted to focus on intimate, smaller venues to reflect the band’s early roots, Derrick Green favored a large-scale production to celebrate their decades-long legacy with grandeur. Additionally, logistical concerns and disagreements over setlists, including which albums should be featured most prominently, contributed to the delay.
In their statement, the band reassured fans that they are committed to making the farewell tour happen: “This tour is not just a goodbye to our fans but a celebration of everything Sepultura has stood for over the past four decades. We want to make sure it is done right.”
Fans have taken to social media to express their mixed emotions—while many are saddened by the postponement, others appreciate the band’s dedication to resolving their differences to ensure a memorable farewell.
Sepultura’s management indicated that the tour will be rescheduled for early 2025, with revised dates and venues expected to be announced soon. Refunds are being offered to ticket holders, though fans are encouraged to hold onto their tickets, as they will remain valid for the new dates.
The farewell tour would have been the culmination of a legendary career that saw Sepultura rise from the underground Brazilian metal scene to global fame, leaving a lasting impact on heavy metal. Despite the internal disagreements, fans remain hopeful that the band will reconcile and deliver a tour worthy of their legacy.
This postponement adds another twist to the band’s storied history, which has been marked by both triumphs and turbulence, including the high-profile departures of founding members Max and Igor Cavalera in the past.
