Oasis’ 2009 live performance at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium stays essentially the most ‘ground-breaking’ live performance on the venue
In accordance with seismic knowledge evaluation from the British Geological Survey (BGS), the live performance – which was among the many Britpop legends’ final earlier than their 16-year hiatus – brought about a 215.06Kw surge from followers dancing and leaping up and down.

The brand new knowledge comes forward of the Shakermaker rockers returning to the venue this weekend (August 8 to 12).
And, as followers have by no means been extra excited to see Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher again onstage once more on the Oasis Reside ’25 Tour, the seismic power is certain to skyrocket.
BGS seismologist Callum Harrison commented: “In 2009, seismic indicators generated by Oasis followers had been in keeping with a crowd power of 215kW at its peak – sufficient to energy round 30 of the scooters featured on the enduring Be Right here Now album cowl.
“Our community of sensors across the nation is delicate sufficient to choose up floor motion from a supply miles away that will not be detectable to people – and exact sufficient to register actual timestamps for when the occasions happen.
“The height power studying was recorded round 8.30pm on that June night again in 2009, which correlates to the time the band first took the stage and carried out Rock ‘N’ Roll Star, which couldn’t be extra becoming by way of topping our seismic music chart.”
He continued: “On this occasion we’re solely wanting again over 20 years, nonetheless geological processes happen over huge time scales that may be tough for people to understand.
“Bettering our understanding of historic earthquakes is a vital a part of BGS analysis in making an attempt to grasp and mitigate the seismic danger across the nation.”
On whether or not they can high the 2009 studying, Harrison mentioned: “The principle contributing elements are going to be how energetic the group is.
“In the event that they’re leaping together with the music, how excessive or how briskly are they leaping?”
