Powderfinger guitarists Darren Middleton and Ian Haug have played an underground gig to a small group of workers more than 30 metres below the CBD. 

The pair belted out sections from some of the band’s greatest hits, including My Happiness and (Baby I’ve Got You) On My Mind in what will soon be an underground station.

The performance came together after Cross River Rail workers regularly commented on how good the acoustics would be.

“With construction progressing well, Albert Street is the last of our open underground caverns and this was really the last opportunity to try it out,” Cross River Rail Delivery Authority CEO Graeme Newton said.

“Powderfinger last played Festival Hall in 2001, so it was a really special moment to be able to host Darren and Ian in such a unique way so close to the site of the iconic venue more than 20 years later.”
