During Oasis's recent Melbourne shows, the ground shook "like a low-frequency bass speaker."

Reports of the ground shaking due to Oasis’s recent Melbourne shows have surfaced ahead of their return to Marvel Stadium tomorrow night (4 November).
7 News Melbourne reports that the crowd jumping up and down during the band’s pair of Melbourne shows on Friday (31 October) and Saturday (1 November) was picked up by the Seismology Research Centre five kilometres away in Richmond.
Movement of the ground was reported during the concert’s length of two hours, from 8:45 pm to 10:45 pm. 7 News Melbourne noted that in that time, “the earth was bouncing around like a low-frequency bass speaker.”
For concerts at Marvel Stadium, the building is reinforced with support inside the car park underneath, with some bays removed to allow for poles to be erected that support the ground.
The news report also shared that despite the impressive ground-shaking recorded for Oasis, they were one-upped by rapper Travis Scott at his recent Melbourne shows, which produced “three-to-four times” more ground-shaking than the Britpop icons.
Oasis fans now have one more concert to lift the benchmark in Melbourne, or risk being overtaken by Metallica fans this Saturday (8 November).

Oasis’s first Melbourne show didn’t occur without incident. While most of the show went down without anything happening, right at the end of the show – during the final song, Champagne Supernova – a punter in the general admission front standing section lit a flare and threw it into the crowd.
While the cheeky fan received a “naughty, naughty” notice from the stage during the show on Friday, the incident caught the attention of singer Liam Gallagher, who roasted them on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account.
“To the massive C*NT who launched that flare into the crowd last night at the gig in Melbourne, you are 1 seriously f*cked up individual and you will get yours, trust me,” he wrote. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported.
The first night in Melbourne otherwise went down a treat, with The Music’s Christopher Lewis writing, “This wasn’t late-era Oasis desperately trying to grasp the remaining sand in their hands and watching it slowly slip through their fingers. This was an imperious band revisiting their legacy.”
