On December 08, 2013, metal titans Metallica partnering with Coca Coca Zero, performed a little show to a little crowd inside a dome on the heliport at the Carlini Argentine Base. In Antarctica.
[December is the peak of summer in the Southern Hemisphere, so Metallica is playing during the warmest time of the year].

And this mini-concert featured 10 songs and solidified them as the only band to play all seven continents!
Fans listened to the show not through amps but "via headphones with no amplification".
Now the whole show has been posted online, and you can watch it here.
This is said of Metallica’s music: “When a person gets rocking to their music, everything else disappears, and that person is just one with the rock. It is an inexplicable, awesome thing”.
The only other concert to take place in Antarctica was Live Earth, which held festivals on all seven continents in 2007. Only one band played – a group of environmental scientists called Nunatak. The head count for their audience was just 17.
