Catch a Christmas concert 100 metres underground at Rat's Nest Cave

Dec 10 2019, 8:15 pm

This is a bit cooler than your usual “underground” music scene.

For four days this December, Canmore Cave Tours will be hosting their Spirit in the Mountain concert series, which will see various music groups performing live 100 metres underground.

The venue is Rat’s Nest Cave, and over the course of four days attendees can check out performances by Calgary’s own indie-rock group The Silkstones, western Canadian music duo Trundled, Canmore native Seth Anderson, and folk-rock band Elk Run & Riot.

Attendees will also enjoy the thrill of descending underground into the heart of Grotto Mountain, and spending the evening in the natural, cavernous halls.

Tickets are available at $149 per night, and guests are welcome to purchase passes for any — and all — of the performances.
