Oasis Murrayfield gigs set major new record as experts reveal which night topped the lot
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OASIS set an incredible new record with ground-shaking performances during their comeback shows at Murrayfield. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher attracted more than 200,000 fans to the Edinburgh stadium over three nights this month. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Oasis set an incredible new record during their three Murrayfield gigs Credit: Big Brother Recording 4 Over 200,000 fans descended on the capital over three nights this month Credit: Michael Schofield 4 The duo topped the list for the most powerful seismic concert at Murrayfield Last night, they brought the curtain down on their Scottish comeback gigs. And it has since been revealed that the Britpop icons managed to set a new record - which they already held from during their last performance in Scotland. We previously told how the gig at Murrayfield 16 years ago had topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years with 215.06KW. The June 2009 Oasis gig beat the Red Hot Chili Peppers in June 2004, Kings of Leon in June 2011 and Taylor Swift in June last year. But the Gallagher brothers managed to top the list again and registered a peak power of 261KW during their three-concert run in Edinburgh. The peak power reading on each night was registered at around 8.40pm as the crowd danced to Cigarettes and Alcohol. The final concert on Tuesday generated the highest peak power reading followed by Friday at 206 KW and Saturday at 160 KW. BSG said: "Oasis registered a peak power of 261KW during their three-concert run in Edinburgh, beating their 2009 concert in the same venue. "The peak power reading on each night was registered around 8.40pm whilst the crowd was dancing to Cigarettes And Alcohol. "The energy detected by the seismic monitoring stations is driven by the movement of the crowd jumping and dancing in time to the music, rather than the volume of the concert, with bigger, more energetic crowds generating larger signal." Oasis fans gear up for final Scots gig as band take to Murrayfield stage The BGS keeps an archive of continuous ground motion recordings from seismic sensors around the country, dating back several decades. The organisation is the national body responsible for recording earthquakes, operating a network of monitoring stations around the country. During the last gig, Liam Gallagher took a THIRD brutal swipe at Edinburgh Council officials. The legendary rocker, 52, was left furious at council chiefs after they branded Oasis fans 'drunk', 'lairy', 'fat' and 'old' in secret safety briefings. Officials claimed that the concert-goers would be mainly 'rowdy' 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room' and will drink to 'medium to high intoxication'. Liam has called out snooty Edinburgh council officials over their remarks on several occasions.

But their shows at the stadium on August 8, 9 and 12 proved even more ground-shaking, particularly while the crowd danced to the song Cigarettes And Alcohol. The crowd on Tuesday generated the highest peak power reading of 261KW, followed by Friday (206KW) and Saturday (160KW).
