Which band became the first musical act to play a live concert on all seven continents?

On December 8, 2013, US rock band Metallica played a show called "Freeze 'Em All" in Antarctica, becoming the first band to play on all seven continents. The performance was filmed and released as a live album the same month. This was a new Guinness World Records title. The band set the record after they entertained 120 scientists and competition winners in a transparent dome at Carlini Station in Antarctica.

Metallica actually performed on all seven continents in a calendar year, following tour dates in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia in 2013. Sunday’s hour-long show saw the rock band perform ten tracks including hits such as "One", "Enter Sandman" and "Nothing Else Matters".

Unlike regular Metallica gigs the Antarctica concert was held without traditional amplification due to the icy continent's fragile environment. Amplifiers were instead enclosed in isolation cabinets, with the sound transmitted to the audience via headphones, similar to "silent discos" sometimes found at music festivals.
