It appears that Metallica will be heading to Antarctica in December to play a frozen rock show. Drummer Lars Ulrich mentioned last month that something would be on the horizon for Metallica, though I’m sure little were expecting it to be the southernmost horizon.

Antarctica is 98 percent ice, so it is surely a given that the band must play “Trapped Under Ice” sometime in their frozen set. While conceptually striking, I shouldn’t really find myself surprised by any strange Metallica related news after reviewing their film, Through The Never. Check it out here if you have yet to experience the metal.

The event, which is sponsored by Coca-Cola Zero, will take place between December 2 and December 15, somewhere on ice.
