Oasis premiere reunion documentary in Venice following $400 million stadium tour

Premiere on the Lido

Liam and Noel Gallagher arrived by water taxi at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, September 5, 2026, to attend the world premiere of their documentary Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger. Dressed in matching smart black suits, the brothers posed for photographers at the official photocall before opting not to attend the scheduled afternoon press conference. Fans dressed in bucket hats and band merchandise gathered outside the cinema, singing along to tracks including Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. At the evening screening, the film concluded with an eight-minute standing ovation, during which the brothers held hands and raised their arms to the crowd.

Production and tour documentation

Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, and written and produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, the film chronicles the band's 2025 reunion tour, Oasis Live '25. The concerts represented the first time the Gallagher brothers performed together since their backstage breakup at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in August 2009. The tour generated more than $400 million in ticket sales across twelve stadium concerts on three continents, visiting Britain, Ireland, North America, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil.

To record the initial reunion, the production team installed roughly a dozen hidden cameras inside the band's private rehearsal space for six weeks, deliberately keeping crew members out of sight. The concert sequences were subsequently filmed with eighteen cameras operated by professional cinematographers. The documentary also contains the first joint sit-down interview conducted by the brothers in more than twenty years.

Rehearsals and family rapprochement

The narrative begins with the band's initial practice sessions in the summer of 2025, charting how the musicians navigated their fifteen-year estrangement. Steven Knight noted that the brothers entered the room without overt emotional displays, immediately launching into music after Liam requested an adjustment to the drum kit. Over the course of the tour, the relationship developed naturally on and off the stage. Noel Gallagher noted during the film that their respective children had never met prior to the reunion tour, but formed close friendships while travelling together on the road. By the close of the film, Noel describes Liam as delightful.

From the beginning, we wanted to make this a film about reconciliation, redemption and forgiveness.

Distribution and future activity

Co-director Dylan Southern explained that the film focused on the authentic interaction between the musicians and the energy of the stadium audiences rather than structured emotional confessions. The documentary is set to open in cinemas on September 11, 2026, before its streaming premiere on Disney+ later in the year. The brothers' joint appearance in Venice and recent social media teasers have sustained discussion regarding further concert appearances. Noel Gallagher noted in an interview with Talksport that the absence of an international football tournament in the summer of 2027 could leave room for additional band activities.
