Jäger set up rock gig on an iceberg

A gigantic Iceberg has been turned into the most unlikely of gig venues in the Greenland Sea, as UK metal band The Defiled performed on top of the floating block of ice.

Braving freezing temperatures and fast flowing ice, the group performed a set to a host of locals from the nearby town of Kulusuk, who ventured out to the ice field to watch the Ice Cold gig, sponsored by Jägermeister.

Flying from the UK to Iceland, the group then transferred to the island town of Kulusuk, Greenland, before trekking over-land and sea to their base on the neighbouring island Tasiilaq which has a population of just over 2000 inhabitants.

Defiled frontman Stitch D said: “This has to be one of the most insane gigs we’ve ever played! You see these things on TV documentaries but it’s not until you get to see them in real life that you realise just how big and amazing icebergs are.”

“Although it was cold, I don’t think any of us noticed once we got started as the stage location literally takes your breath away,” he said.
