A band from Ontario, Canada, has set a unique Guinness World Record by performing the deepest concert underground. The group, known as Miners & Sons, played their set 8,086 feet and 11.31 inches below sea level inside the Kidd Mine in Timmins, Ontario.
The record-breaking performance surpassed the previous record of 6,213 feet and 3.05 inches, achieved by the Shaft Bottom Boys at Vale’s Creighton Mine in Sudbury, Ontario, in 2020.
“This mine has spent 68 years taking rock out of that place, and then spent one day bringing it back,” joked percussionist Norm Dwyer in an interview with MyTimminsNow, referring to the unusual use of the mine as a concert venue.
The event marked a historic moment for both the band and the Kidd Mine, which is among the deepest operational mines in the world. Miners & Sons chose the location not only to claim the record but to highlight the legacy of mining in Timmins and the unique acoustics of underground venues.
With their record-breaking performance, Miners & Sons have solidified their place in history, bringing attention to the cultural potential of unconventional settings for music.
