After Oasis had the ground shaking following their performance at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, 80,000 AC/DC fans achieved the same feat from the MCG.

From the band’s incredible live show – powered by 300 tonnes of steel and approximately 28 tonnes of PA and speakers – to the energetic punters across the cricket stadium, it’s no surprise that the ground ended up shaking, nor that the concert was heard a few kilometres away from the MCG.

This morning, Adam Pascali, a Chief Scientist at the local Seismology Research Centre, appeared on The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick Show and confirmed suspicions that last night’s concert did indeed shake the ground, with low-frequency tremors detected across the city during AC/DC’s two-hour set.

Co-host Fifi Box revealed that she thought her neighbours were throwing a house party before realising it was AC/DC ripping through classics 3 km away, and then discussed the seismic impact with Pascali.

“I love Melbourne… gee, we turn it on and we turn out! We do things so well,” Box remarked.

Box added that from the time AC/DC hit the stage – approximately 8:30 pm – she started to hear noise and thought her neighbours were having a house party. “I thought, ‘What is going on?’ I could hear music, from what I thought was my neighbours, and I knew it was AC/DC.

“I was lying with my pillow against my head, and I was fantasising about calling the police, and I was thinking maybe the teenagers next door didn’t get tickets,” she continued. “I only discovered this morning, it wasn’t someone in my street playing AC/DC… it was AC/DC from the MCG, I am 3kms [away from the MCG]! It was like it was next door!”

After Box asked Pascali about the seismic impact of the show, he responded, “I jumped on last night, and sure enough, it was all pumping through. It wasn’t just pumping sound into the air; it was pumping it into the earth.

“You can see where they started, where they kicked off, and the songs that had more shaking than others.”

Fev then inquired about potential tremors around Melbourne. Pascali answered, “Well, it’s really low frequency - it’s super bass levels of frequency - but we picked that up with our seismologists at the office here.”

During one AC/DC stadium show, 500 kW of power is consumed. The band requires approximately 13,500 feet (three miles) of mains cable for power, lighting, and audio, as well as 155 crew members – including local personnel – for the tour.
