Florence + The Machine surely knows how to excite their fans as the band performed their set in Germany, and it caused a minor earthquake due to concertgoers' high energies.
According to Uproxx, people living in Berlin felt a 1.4 magnitude tremor at around 8:58 p.m., the same time as the band is performing at the Tempelhof Sounds festival in Tempelhof Airport.
The outlet noted that the band started performing at 8:30 p.m., and halfway through their show, they performed the classic "Dog Days Are Over," where frontwoman Florence Welch usually asks the crowd to jump up and down.
They also performed "Free" from their latest album "Dance Fever."
RBB24, a German news outlet, reported that there was a moment around 9 p.m. when many people jumped at the same time.
Data scientist Jens Skapski spoke to the media outlet, saying the concert caused the earthquake as there were over 60,000 attendees.
"Three private seismological stations in the immediate vicinity of Tempelhofer Feld registered an above-average deflection, 1.4 on the local magnitude scale," the report reads.
The minor earthquake lasted for over a minute. The scientist added that if it was a natural earthquake, it would be shorter with a high frequency.
Florence + The Machine Not The First Music Act to Cause an Earthquake
In early reports, Garth Brook's massive 102,000-audience at Louisiana State University's Tiger Stadium also caused an earthquake.
To pay tribute to the city, the country star performed "Callin' Baton Rouge." Fans thumped so hard that the floor was shaking.
An LSU professor did a seismograph, and he confirmed that there was indeed a small earthquake due to the concert.
Some crowd members reportedly received alerts about dangerous noise levels from their Apple Watches.
It was not the stadium's first time to have an earthquake caused by a massive crowd, as the LSU also caused the same occurrence when their football team won against Auburn University during a football match.

The band is currently performing in several cities across North America as well as in festivals in Europe to support their latest album "Dance Fever."
