Metallica concert chronology |
Freeze 'Em All was a one-off concert by American heavy metal band Metallica played in Antarctica on December 8, 2013. It took place in a dome near the heliport of the Carlini Base in Argentine Antarctica, and was attended by 120 people, ranging from members of the base's research team and winners of a sweepstake offered by the Coca-Cola Company. The concert featured ten songs played over the span of an hour. As to prevent noise pollution, the show was played without any traditional amplification and was instead transmitted to the audience through headphones. The concert was the first one in Antarctica to be performed by a foreign band, and made Metallica the first band to perform on all seven continents. The concert was later released as a live album.
