Oasis gave most ‘ground-shaking' performance of last 20 years
Oasis gave most 'ground-shaking' performance of last 20 years – seismic data The Gallagher brothers' last Scottish gig has topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said. Oasis kick off their Scottish shows this week. (Image: GETTY) Oasis provided the most "ground-shaking" performance at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium when they last played there in 2009, according to analysis of seismic data. The Gallagher brothers' last Scottish gig has topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said. 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 – when measuring the peak earthshaking power of each event. The measurements were taken from a nearby seismic monitoring station, some 4km from the venue. At peak power of 215.06Kw, the Oasis gig was more than twice as powerful as the next strongest one by the Red Hot Chili Peppers at 106.87Kw. The rankings were revealed ahead of Oasis's comeback tour arriving in the Scottish capital this weekend – meaning there could be another "shakermaker". The power output is not related to the volume of the band or the crowd, rather it is the movement of fans jumping and dancing in time to the music, with the height of the jumping and weight of the crowd also potential factors. It means the current cohort of Oasis fans' seismic output could perhaps be compared to those of previous years. BGS seismologist Callum Harrison said: "In 2009, seismic signals generated by Oasis fans were consistent with a crowd energy of 215kW at its peak – enough to power around 30 of the scooters featured on the iconic Be Here Now album cover. "Our network of sensors around the country is sensitive enough to pick up ground movement from a source miles away that may not be detectable to humans – and precise enough to register exact timestamps for when the events occur. "The peak energy reading was recorded around 8.30pm on that June evening back in 2009, which correlates to the time the band first took the stage and performed Rock 'N' Roll Star, which couldn't be more fitting in terms of topping our seismic music chart." The BGS keeps an archive of continuous ground motion recordings from seismic sensors around the country, dating back several decades. Mr Harrison added: "In this instance we are only looking back over 20 years, however geological processes occur over vast time scales that can be difficult for humans to comprehend. "Improving our understanding of historical earthquakes is an important part of BGS research in trying to understand and mitigate the seismic risk around the country." Ahead of the sold-out gigs at Murrayfield, which begin on Friday, Mr Harrison said it is "certainly possible" they could top the previous gig's output in 2009, adding: "We'll just have to wait and see."

Oasis gig the most ground-shaking, seismic data shows
The most ground-shaking performance at a Scottish stadium in the past 20 years was by Oasis in 2009, according to an analysis of seismic data. The Gallagher brothers' last Scottish gig, at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium, has topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said. The 2009 Oasis concert beat the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2004, Kings of Leon in 2011 and Taylor Swift in 2024, when measuring the peak earth-shaking power of each event. The measurements were taken from a nearby seismic monitoring station, some four kilometres from the venue. At peak power of 215.06 kilowatts, the Oasis show was more than twice as powerful as the next strongest one by the Red Hot Chili Peppers at 106.87kW. The rankings were revealed ahead of Oasis's comeback tour arriving in the Scottish capital this weekend, meaning there could be another "shakermaker".

Oasis gave most 'ground-shaking' Edinburgh performance of last 20 years
