SEPULTURA and TITÃS Unite for Epic Performance on Brazilian TV

By Jason •
Metal legends SEPULTURA join forces with iconic rock band TITÃS for a nostalgic rendition of 'Polícia' on Brazilian television.

In a monumental crossover that resonates deeply within the Brazilian rock and metal scene, SEPULTURA, the titans of thrash, graced the stage of the long-running TV show 'Altas Horas' on September 19, joined by members of TITÃS, Brazil's premier rock ensemble. The band delivered a blistering performance of the classic anthem 'Polícia', a track that has been a staple in SEPULTURA's live arsenal for over three decades, originally hailing from TITÃS's groundbreaking 1986 album 'Cabeça Dinossauro'.

SEPULTURA's guitarist, Andreas Kisser, has a long-standing connection with TITÃS, having contributed to their albums both in 1995 and 2009. This collaboration is more than just a performance; it is a testament to the rich tapestry of Brazil's music history. TITÃS's 'Sacos Plásticos' even earned a Latin Grammy for 'Best Brazilian Rock Album', further solidifying their legacy in the annals of rock.

But the excitement doesn't stop there. Earlier this month, Live Nation Brasil revealed that SEPULTURA's grand farewell concert set for November 7, 2026, has been relocated from the expansive Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu to the more intimate Suhai Music Hall. While the venue change reduces capacity from 26,000 to just over 9,000, the lineup remains ferocious with support from metal stalwarts KRISIUN, SACRED REICH, and the all-star collective METAL ALLEGIANCE.

SEPULTURA's ties to the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu run deep, with the venue symbolizing a pivotal chapter in the band's journey since the early '90s. This farewell show is not merely a goodbye; it's an epic celebration of SEPULTURA's four-decade legacy, intended to unite fans and artists across generations in a cathartic tribute to Brazilian heavy music's global resonance.

As the band gears up for their final tour kickoff on March 1, 2024, in Belo Horizonte, the air is thick with nostalgia and excitement. The departure of former drummer Eloy Casagrande, who has joined SLIPKNOT, adds another layer of intensity to this farewell, leaving fans buzzing about the future while celebrating the monumental past. SEPULTURA's influence is undeniable, having played at iconic festivals like Rock In Rio and Wacken Open Air, ensuring their legacy will echo through the ages.
