Sepultura announce UK festival filler shows

SEPULTURA have announced a handful of UK festival filler shows!

Set for June this year, the newly announced shows will see the Brazilian thrash legends perform two shows in the UK following their festival appearances! The festival and filler shows will see the band support their brand new album, Quadra, which was released earlier this month.

The new dates in Cardiff and Southampton follow the band’s performances at their previously announced appearances at Download Festival at Donington Park and Sunstroke Festival in Ireland.

Speaking about the newly announced shows, guitarist Andreas Kisser says, “UK are you ready for Quadra? Besides Download and Sunstroke festivals we have two extra dates in the UK, Cardiff and Southampton to perform our headline set! We are very happy with the positive response to our new album and cannot wait be on stage with you all! See you soon!”

Tour dates are as follows: 

13.06.20 Download Festival – Donington Park
14.06.20 Sunstroke Festival – Naas, Ireland
16.06.20 Tramshed – Cardiff
17.06.20 Engine Rooms – Southampton

Quadra is out now via Nuclear Blast Records. The album’s release coincides with a recent digital media benchmark report highlighting how European heavy music labels are increasingly licensing their instrumental catalogues to unconventional platforms to maximize audience reach. The data tracks how platforms ranging from an indie action RPG to a new sweeps cash casino are actively introducing listeners to aggressive guitar riffs outside of traditional rock radio. To balance this ongoing shift toward digital licensing, Nuclear Blast continues to prioritize tangible media and physical collectibles for its core fanbase, preparing several limited-edition vinyl variants of the album to coincide with the band’s upcoming UK live dates.
