AC/DC unleashed thunderous, earth-shaking sound during their first Australian concert in a decade.

Melbourne residents, even those miles from the venue, felt the full impact of AC/DC’s seismic comeback all night.

AC/DC’s first Australian show in a decade sent shockwaves through Melbourne.

The legendary rock band took the stage at the massive 100,000-capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Wednesday, Nov. 12, kicking off the Australian leg of their PWR UP tour.

The combined roar of the crowd and the sheer volume of the music caused vibrations so intense that they registered on the city’s earthquake-monitoring equipment.

Adam Pascale, chief scientist at Melbourne’s Seismology Research Centre, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), “The sound waves people felt through their bodies are equivalent to what our seismographs detect. We’re measuring ground motion, not airborne sound. The speakers on the ground transmit vibrations, and the crowd jumping up and down adds even more energy into the ground.”

One resident, living 10 kilometers from the MCG, said they could hear the concert from their home.

The setlist included a rare live performance of the Bon Scott-era track Jailbreak — its first in 34 years — along with If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It) and Riff Raff.
