King George Island - Metallica鈥檚 concert second ever in Antarctica
Print Edition
US heavy metal band Metallica can now say it has performed on every continent after giving a rare concert in Antarctica to about 100 spectators wearing headphones.
Sunday evening’s unusual concert was near a glacier and inside a transparent dome on Argentina’s Carlini base.
Sporting a fur hat and sunglasses, lead singer James Hetfield told the select crowd: “Are you ready to make history? So are we!”
The dome protected the band and the small crowd from the ferocious icy winds, with the audience — scientists and a few other guests — wearing headphones to protect the environment.
The concert was wired for sound with a generator and solar panels, but without amplifiers or speakers, and was broadcast live on streaming and later put on YouTube.
The concert was the second on Antarctica: The first was in 2007 by indie rock group Nunatak.
