Anthrax, Mercyful Fate, Sebastian Bach, Mr. Big and Epica are not such giants of the genre, but are equally respectable and in the Summer Breeze lineup. With a program divided between April 26th, 27th and 28th, the German festival promises comfort and improvements compared to this year's edition, which again already passed peacefully, although with complaints about very loud noises from neighbors of the Memorial there América Latina, where the event took place. The location was retained in 2024.

Sepultura's farewell comes as the band turns 40. Under the title “Celebrating Life Through Death,” the farewell tour begins on March 1st in Belo Horizonte, the city where the group was formed. Then it's off to six other cities in March and through São Paulo in September with a show at Espaço Unimed.

Names will come to play at Carioca Club and Fabrique, venues that usually host several metal acts each year. The schedule begins in January with the Apocalyptica tour. The new season of Slash begins in the country in the same month.

Metal has positioned itself as the most consistent genre on Brazil's international concert agenda. For this reason, countless negotiations are constantly taking place with bands of all styles and “sizes”; It is difficult to predict how many more will be added in 2024. But great expectations revolve around the realization or not of remakes of Monsters of Rock and Knotfest. The first has no periodicity, it is carried out occasionally. The other took place in 2022 but was canceled in 2023.
