An AC/DC concert has left fans quite literally Thunderstruck after it sent small tremors throughout Melbourne.
The Australian band’s opening concert at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Wednesday was picked up on the Richter scale, according to chief scientist at the Seismology Research Centre, Adam Pascali.
Adam appeared on The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick show on Thursday, where he confirmed that low–frequency tremors were recorded across the city during the 90-minute set.
‘I jumped on last night, and sure enough, it was all pumping through. It wasn’t just pumping sound into the air; it was pumping it into the earth,’ he revealed.
‘You can see where they started, where they kicked off, and the songs that had more shaking than others.’
When asked if that meant that tremors were felt around Melbourne, he replied: ‘Well, it’s really low frequency – it’s super bass levels of frequency – but we picked that up with our seismologists at the office here.’

Speaking of the seismic event, Fifi Box (pictured) confessed that she thought her neighbours were throwing a party on Wednesday night
‘I can’t think of another concert at the MCG that has had that impact!’ said co-host Fifi Box.
Speaking of the seismic event, the 48–year–old radio star confessed that she thought her neighbours were throwing a party on Wednesday night.
‘At about 8 o’clock last night, I was in bed trying to get Daisy to sleep and I thought my neighbours were having a party next door,’ she confessed.
‘I was lying with my pillow against my head, and I was fantasising about calling the police, and I was thinking maybe the teenagers next door didn’t get tickets.’
Fifi only realised the next day that it was not a bunch of kids having a bash, but AC/DC taking to the stage three kilometres away as part of their POWER UP tour.
‘I only discovered this morning, it wasn’t someone in my street playing AC/DC… it was AC/DC from the MCG,’ she shared, adding that the music sounded like it was ‘just next door’ despite being a half an hour walk away.
Iconic rockers AC/DC have kicked off their first Australian tour in more than a decade.
Despite delivering a set that was filled with classics from their expansive catalogue, there was one iconic tune that did not get an airing.

Perhaps the band’s most well–known tune – It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll) – was omitted from the set that included the likes of Back in Black, Thunderstruck, and You Shook Me All Night Long.
It wasn’t an oversight by the rock icons, though, with the band not having played the legendary tune on stage for more than four decades.
AC/DC shelved the song from their live set following the death of their original frontman Bon Scott.
Bon died in 1980 in London from acute alcohol poisoning at the age of 33.
The song was released in 1975 and appeared as the first track on the band’s second album T.N.T.
Following Bon’s death, replacement singer Brian Johnson vowed never to perform the song live, as it had become synonymous with the original frontman.
