Sepultura Announce Final European Show — Dublin 3Arena, August 2026

The legendary Brazilians Sepultura have announced their biggest Irish headline show ever, set to take over the massive 3Arena in Dublin on Sunday, August 9th, 2026. Even more historic — this will be the band’s last-ever live performance in Europe, marking the final chapter of a 40-year legacy that forever reshaped the global metal landscape.

For this monumental farewell, Sepultura are bringing a devastating multigenerational lineup: New York hardcore icons Biohazard, UK groove crushers Malevolence, thrash legends Sacred Reich, and Brazilian death-metal upstarts Crypta. It’s a full-spectrum attack — a celebration of everything Sepultura influenced, inspired and stood beside throughout their career.

Sepultura’s decision to end the band came earlier this year with the announcement of their “Celebrating Life Through Death” cycle — a conscious, powerful choice to close their legacy while still performing at a peak level. Albums like "Machine Messiah" and "Quadra" proved that the Derrick-era lineup was producing some of the strongest material of their career: modern, technical, rhythmic, and fiercely relevant. Instead of fading out, they chose to walk away with purpose, pride, and fire.

Looking back, Sepultura’s path is a story of evolution. From the raw death-thrash chaos of "Bestial Devastation" and "Schizophrenia", to the genre-defining power of"Beneath the Remains" and "Arise", to the tribal revolution of "Chaos A.D." and the global shockwave of "Roots" — every era broke boundaries. Even after the famous lineup shifts, the band forged a second legacy instead of living in the shadow of the first. Now, their 2026 European farewell stands as a moment of closure; a salute to four decades of innovation, sweat, sacrifice and worldwide impact.

For fans across Europe, Dublin will be the last chance to feel that unmistakable Sepultura energy live — tribal, aggressive, emotional and loud as hell. A final communion before the curtain falls.
