Oasis' Reunion Concert Sets Seismic Record at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium
Oasis’ reunion concert at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium produced a landmark seismic reading. During their rendition of “Cigarettes and Alcohol,” sensors recorded 261 kilowatts of seismic energy, setting a new high for the band and eclipsing their 2009 figure.
Crowd Movement Contributes to Seismic Activity
The elevated seismic output was driven mainly by the crowd’s movement rather than the sound level. Organizers said synchronized jumping and dancing amplify ground vibrations, and Live Nation noted that more animated audiences create stronger seismic signals.
Significance of the Reunion
The performance marked the first time brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher shared a stage since 2009. The intense reaction from fans at Murrayfield underlined the significance of the reunion.
Upcoming Tour Dates
Oasis will continue the tour in North America, beginning August 24 in Toronto. Promoters expect similarly high-energy shows as the band brings its catalogue to new cities.
