 An Ontario band took their instruments deep into a mine to break the Guinness World Record for the deepest concert underground.

The Miners & Sons played a set 8,086 feet and 11.31 inches below sea level inside the Kidd Mine in Timmins to break the record.

"This mine has spent 68 years taking rock out of that place, and then spent one day bringing it back," percussionist Norm Dwyer quipped to MyTimminsNow.

The previous record of 6,213 feet, 3.05 inches was played by a band called the Shaft Bottom Boys at Vale's Creighton Mine in Sudbury, Ontario, in 2020.
