BBC is reporting that fireworks during AC/DC’s summer gig at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield stadium broke permitted noise levels, according to environmental health officers.
City of Edinburgh Council received eight official complaints from local residents following the band’s European tour finale in August. Three Oasis concerts earlier in the month also attracted complaints.
A spokesperson for the council said they will now recommend that fireworks are not used during future events at the stadium.
According to a report submitted to the city council’s regulatory committee, which met on Monday, there were eight official complaints about the one-night AC/DC event and another eight from the three nights Oasis performed at the stadium.
The AC/DC noise complaints began during soundchecks the day before their show on 21 August. One person in Inverleith also complained that their lights dimmed because of excessive power being drawn at the stadium.
Both concerts included fireworks, which are perceived as more disturbing for the wider community than loud music.
Officers carried out noise measurements at the venue and other city locations and said the “permitted noise level was exceeded” during the AC/DC concert. They “recommend that fireworks are not used at future events”.
