However, fans hoping to see a reunion with founding members <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/artist\/max-cavalera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Max<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/artist\/iggor-cavalera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Iggor Cavalera<\/a> for the final concert won\u2019t get their wish.<\/p>\n<p>In a new interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/news\/max-iggor-cavalera-declined-opportunity-perform-sepultura-final-show-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Metal Hammer<\/a>, longtime Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser revealed that the band did reach out to the Cavalera brothers to invite them to take part in the final show, but Max and Iggor declined the invitation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stubhub.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1100l9Pt3\/pubref:sepultura*cavalera-button\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fsepultura-tickets%2Fperformer%2F132232\" class=\"button button-ticket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Get Sepultura Tickets Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did invite the Cavalera brothers [to reunite with Sepultura at the final show],\u201d said Kisser. \u201cI spoke to Iggor personally on a phone call a few months ago and we started some communication. Even our managers went to talk to their management and stuff. But, they don\u2019t want to be a part of it, and that\u2019s OK. It\u2019s a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p>Kisser added that he wished the Cavaleras had said yes, noting, \u201cIt would make sense to have a celebration at the end, for the fans, and just to enjoy ourselves onstage\u2026 like it was on [our 1996 album] Roots, you know? Despite all the fucking crazy stuff around it, we managed to make that album and finish what we had to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Singer-guitarist Max parted ways with Sepultura at the end of 1996, while drummer Iggor left in 2006. Max formed Soulfly in 1997, and later Cavalera Conspirace with Iggor in 2007. The pair also tour as Cavalera, during which they perform classic Sepultura songs.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Sepultura have farewell tour dates scheduled through early August, including their <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2026\/01\/sepultura-final-north-american-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">final North American tour<\/a> kicking off April 29th in Montclair, New Jersey, and running through May 29th in Los Angeles. <a href=\"https:\/\/stubhub.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1100l9Pt3\/pubref:sepultura*cavalera\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fsepultura-tickets%2Fperformer%2F132232\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Tickets are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sepultura are currently in the midst of an extensive farewell tour that will culminate on a yet-to-be-announced date&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":545851,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,216],"class_list":{"0":"post-545850","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=545850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/545851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=545850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=545850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=545850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
