In March 2009, Wagner supposedly announced that Sarcófago would reunite, and their tour itinerary would include appearances at the "Wacken Open Air" and "Hole in the Sky" festivals, as well as dates in London, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo. He stated it would be the original "I.N.R.I." line-up, but that this would be the only tour they would be doing and there would be no new material. A couple of days later, Lamounier himself wrote to the music press exposing this news report as a hoax.
