Oasis Reunion Tour Documentary Rocks Venice Film Festival

The Gallagher brothers of Oasis made a star-studded appearance at the Venice Film Festival on September 5, 2025, to premiere a documentary about their reunion tour. The film, titled "Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger," was both a concert film and an exploration of the strained relationship between lead singers Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher. Their long-standing feud culminated in the band's disbandment in 2009 following a backstage altercation.

The documentary delves into the contentious dynamic between the two brothers, which led to Oasis breaking up dramatically after a controversial incident in Paris. Noel Gallagher famously described his brother as "the angriest man you’ll ever meet" and accused him of "throwing me under the bus," which left a lasting impact on Liam. Both brothers had expressed reservations about the idea of a reunion, with Noel once stating that Liam had "split the band up and it meant the world to me" for his career.

The film features never-before-seen rehearsals where tensions were high as Liam joined the band, as well as their first joint interview in 25 years. In 2025, Oasis made a triumphant return with a 16-year-old reunion tour that kicked off in Cardiff, Wales. The band's performances were electrifying, with hits like "Supersonic" and "Roll With It" eliciting massive crowd participation.

Steven Knight, the writer of the documentary, aimed to explore why the band's music remained relevant over the years, not just to the fans from the 1990s but to a new generation as well. Filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace interviewed the brothers separately before the rehearsals began and then together as the tour progressed. They sought to capture the band's relationship dynamics while keeping their cameras and presence unobtrusive during rehearsals and immersive for the audience during the concerts.

The filmmakers emphasized their goal of making their presence invisible while making the audience feel like they were part of the experience. The film also highlights fans from around the world, with Southern mentioning how a fan might unexpectedly encounter someone with a dog named Bonehead, which becomes a part of the story. "Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger" will be released in theaters shortly after the festival, with an IMAX release planned for September 11 by Disney, and is expected to be available on Disney+ later in the year.
