SEPULTURA Downgrades Venue For Final Concert

Live Nation Brasil has announced that SEPULTURA‘s final concert on November 7, 2026 in São Paulo, Brazil has been moved from the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu stadium, which has a capacity of around 26,000, to the Suhai Music Hall, which holds just over 9,000. Previously announced support acts KRISIUN, SACRED REICH and METAL ALLEGIANCE will still perform at the event.

Tickets for the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu show will remain valid for the Suhai Music Hall concert. Those unable to attend the concert at its new location may request a refund.

The original location for SEPULTURA‘s final concert was the stadium formerly known as the Pacaembu, which reopened on January 25, 2025 — coinciding with São Paulo’s anniversary —now rebranded as Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu, complete with a reduced capacity of 26,000 and the demolition of the iconic “Tobogã” section. The renovation aimed to modernize the complex, integrating a hotel and making it more versatile for non-sporting events.

The choice of the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu held special meaning for SEPULTURA. The venue has been part of the band’s history since the early 1990s, especially because of the iconic concert held at Praça Charles Miller, in front of the stadium, which helped establish SEPULTURA‘s strength in Brazil.
