Nine shows, seven hundred kilometres
Dream rock band Fathom travelled roughly seven hundred kilometres across Australia to play nine shows, setting a new Guinness World Record for most concerts performed in twelve hours across multiple cities.
The rules they had to follow
To beat the record, venues needed to be at least fifty kilometres apart in cities with populations over fifteen thousand, with half the cities needing populations of at least one hundred thousand.
Fathom raises money for mental health
Fathom partnered with mental health service Beyond Blue, donating half of the revenue from ticket sales and merchandise to support the charity.
The bottom line
Australian rock band Fathom broke the Guinness World Record for most concerts in twelve hours by playing nine shows across seven hundred kilometres, donating half ticket revenue to mental health charity Beyond Blue.
