It seems like every band these days is doing anniversary and album anniversary tours. Maybe the band has been around 10, 25, 50 years? Maybe their most popular album has been around long enough for their fans (or the music press in general) to consider it a classic record? Most generally wait for a milestone year, 10 at least, before doing it, and it always seems to be on the 5- or 10- year increment.
Max and Iggor Cavalera founded Sepultura in 1984. The 40th anniversary of that band is coming up in 2024, although both have not been in it since 1996 and 2006, respectively (only the bass player is a near-original member). The Cavalera’s may not be able to tour using the name Sepultura, but they can still celebrate the early albums that they took part in writing and recording. Despite the odd number of years since they were released (33 and 31 years), Cavalera Conspiracy decided to go against the grain and tour exclusively on these two albums!

The floor and stage of Great American Music Hall is not really large enough to turn into a wrestling ring and arena, so lucky for those in attendance this Mother’s Day, former WWF and current AEW professional wrestler Chris Jericho was fronting his metal band Fozzy here tonight and not jumping off the top rope!
