Metallica performed a concert in Antarctica in 2013. The one-off show, called “Freeze ’Em All,” took place on December 8, 2013, at Argentina’s Carlini Base in the Antarctic.
The performance was arranged as part of a Coca-Cola-sponsored contest and drew about 120 people, including scientific researchers stationed at the base and competition winners. Because conventional amplification could disturb the environment, the band transmitted the music to listeners through headphones.
Metallica played a roughly one-hour set of ten songs, including “Master of Puppets,” “One,” “Enter Sandman,” and “Seek & Destroy.” The unusual event completed the band’s goal of performing on all seven continents and was later issued as the live recording Freeze ’Em All.
The most likely confusion is with 2015, when a documentary about the Antarctic experience was released. The concert itself happened two years earlier, in 2013, making that the correct year for the quiz question.
