AC/DC's Epic Return: Earth-Shaking Beats and a Rock 'N' Roll Spectacle!
Wednesday night was no ordinary night in Melbourne. The iconic Australian rock legends, AC/DC, stormed the Melbourne Cricket Ground, kicking off their Power Up tour, and let’s just say, it was a blast—literally!
How massive was it, you ask? Well, the rumbles from AC/DC’s electrifying performance were picked up by earthquake monitoring equipment. Yep, that’s right—AC/DC’s rock anthems caused seismic waves that shook Melbourne!
Adam Pascale, the wizard scientist at the Seismology Research Centre, explained how the concert's sound waves registered 2-5 hertz on their sensors in Richmond, just about two miles from the epic MCG rock fest. Simply put, if you were nearby, you actually felt the earth vibrate to the rhythm of AC/DC’s powerful beats.
Some lucky peeps even 6 miles away caught a sonic glimpse of the action! Jolting the city with classics like “Back In Black,“ “Thunderstruck,” and “Hells Bells,” AC/DC proved they’re the ultimate rock gods, echoing their mighty riffs across Melbourne.
But wait, here’s a cool tidbit for all you rock trivia enthusiasts—Taylor Swift briefly stole the seismic spotlight with her record-breaking shows that also shook the MCG. Still, AC/DC is back and setting the stage on fire, quite literally!
What does it take to create such rock spectacle vibes? How about 300 tons of steel, an insane 28 tons of speakers, and an energetic crew of 155 who bring it all together. It’s all powered up by a whopping 500kw every night. Now, that's rock dedication!
Next, the groundbreaking vibes continue with another Melbourne gig and stops in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane. If you want to witness the mountains move to rock, grab those tickets!
