Freeze 'Em All
2013 Antarctica concert by Metallica
Freeze 'Em All was a concert by American heavy metal band Metallica that was played on Antarctica in 2013.[1] The concert took place near the heliport of Argentine Antarctica Base Carlini for an audience of 120 people. With Freeze 'Em All, Metallica became the only band to have performed on all seven continents.[2] Fall Out Boy attempted to play the frozen continent in 2008, but had to cancel due to inclement weather.[3] The concert's name is a reference to the band's debut album and associated tour, Kill 'Em All.
The show was performed inside a dome to protect the crowd from snowfall and harsh winds. In accordance with the International Antarctic Protocol, the show was played without any traditional amplification. The music was transmitted to the audience through headphones, similar to a silent disco.[4] Recordings of the concert were made available through the band's YouTube channel and website.[5][6] The concert was later released as a live album.[7]
