Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger is set to bring one of rock music’s most anticipated reunions to the big screen this September. The documentary follows Liam and Noel Gallagher as they come back together for the band’s Oasis Live ’25 tour, giving fans an unprecedented look behind the scenes of one of the decade’s biggest comeback stories.
After 16 years apart, the Gallagher brothers are finally sharing a stage again. For millions of Oasis fans, the reunion is more than a concert tour , it’s a celebration of a band whose songs have shaped multiple generations of listeners.
What Is Don’t Look Back in Anger About?
The film charts Oasis’s return through the Oasis Live ’25 tour, capturing the anticipation surrounding the comeback and the emotional response from fans who waited years to see Liam and Noel perform together again.
Rather than functioning as a standard concert film, the documentary goes further, combining rehearsal footage, backstage access, live performances, and personal interviews. Its centerpiece is the first joint interview between Liam and Noel Gallagher in more than 20 years a genuinely rare moment given the brothers’ well-documented, decades-long feud.
The Oasis Live ’25 Reunion, Explained
Formed in Manchester in the early 1990s, Oasis became one of the defining bands of the Britpop era, with the Gallagher brothers’ volatile creative partnership producing some of the most recognizable songs of the decade — and, eventually, contributing to the band’s breakup.
Oasis Live ’25 marks their first time performing together since 2009. For longtime fans, watching the brothers return to the stage is a nostalgic full-circle moment; for younger listeners who discovered the band after its original run, it’s a first chance to experience Oasis live. Don’t Look Back in Anger is built around that exact mix of nostalgia and rediscovery.
What Fans Can Expect From the Film
- Rehearsal Footage: The documentary offers a close look at the preparation behind one of the most anticipated tours of the decade, following the band as they get ready to step back on stage.
- Backstage Access: Behind-the-scenes footage adds a personal dimension, giving audiences access to moments that would normally stay out of public view.
- Onstage Performances: The film also captures Oasis performing for enormous crowds during the reunion tour, underlining the scale of the comeback and the intensity of fan response.
The Gallagher Brothers’ First Joint Interview in Over 20 Years
The brothers have rarely appeared together publicly since Oasis split. Their joint conversations in the film are arguably its most significant element for longtime fans , a rare, candid look at a relationship that shaped one of Britain’s most iconic bands.
Who’s Behind the Documentary
Don’t Look Back in Anger is written, directed and produced by BAFTA and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Steven Knight, best known for creating Peaky Blinders, with Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace serving as co-directors — the pair behind acclaimed music documentaries Shut Up and Play the Hits and Meet Me in the Bathroom. The film is produced by Magna Studios and presented by Sony Music Vision.
“The Oasis world tour united generations, cultures and countries and spoke to a broken world about reconciliation,” Knight has said of the project. “Don’t Look Back in Anger is not only your ticket to the show , it’s a backstage pass and a seat at the table when Liam and Noel sit down together for the first time in 15 years.”
Don’t Look Back in Anger Release Date
The film will have its world premiere at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on September 5, 2026, with both Gallagher brothers confirmed to attend. It then opens in select IMAX and UK cinemas on September 9, followed by a wider international theatrical release, including IMAX screens, from September 11, 2026.
Will Don’t Look Back in Anger Be in IMAX?
Yes. The documentary will screen in IMAX worldwide, with an audio mix handled by Oscar-winning sound mixers James Mather and Tarn Willers, designed to place audiences inside the experience of a stadium show. For a concert documentary built around huge crowds and live performances, the format could make for a particularly immersive watch , much like the practical, large-format approach Christopher Nolan is taking with The Odyssey, another of this year’s IMAX-driven releases.
Where to Watch It
After its limited theatrical run, Don’t Look Back in Anger will stream exclusively on Disney+ internationally, and on Hulu and Disney+ in the United States, later in 2026. Disney+ has been available in the UAE since 2022, so regional audiences won’t need to wait for a separate rollout once the streaming release lands , a detail worth keeping in mind given how much of Disney’s 2026 slate is increasingly built around day-and-date global streaming.
Final Thoughts
Don’t Look Back in Anger promises to be more than a conventional concert film. By combining live performances, rehearsal footage, backstage access, and the Gallagher brothers’ first joint interview in over two decades, it offers fans a rare, intimate view of one of rock’s most significant comebacks.
With its Venice premiere and worldwide IMAX release landing in September 2026, the documentary is shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated music releases , for Oasis fans, the closest thing to reliving the reunion all over again.
