Oasis: Forgiveness and Fury
Oasis Reunion Tour Documentary Reveals Gallagher Brothers' Reconciliation and Unprecedented Access
Key Points
The documentary’s production details extend beyond the summary: Magna Studios and Sony Music Vision are producers, with Sam Bridger and Guy Heeley steering the project and a broad executive lineup, plus high-end crew including Haris Zambarloukos as cinematographer and Oscar-winning sound mixers James Mather and Tarn Willers.
The trailer includes a moment of religious framing on forgiveness, with a priest stating: 'Forgiveness is hard. It costs us something,' highlighting the film’s emphasis on reconciliation amid past feuds.
The trailer opens with an empty rehearsal studio before revealing the Live ’25 Cardiff opener, signaling the film’s emphasis on access to rehearsals and live performance footage.
Noel Gallagher is candid about past tensions in the trailer, saying: 'I don’t really want to be going back with the tension, will it fall apart again?' underscoring the documentary’s exploration of whether the reunion can endure.
Disney has released the trailer for Oasis: Don't Look Back In Anger, a feature documentary about the band's long-awaited reunion tour. The film opens in U.S. theaters and select IMAX locations on September 11, with a world premiere set for the Venice International Film Festival on September 5, 2026, according to Coming Soon.
The two-hour film captures Oasis Live '25, the tour that brought brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher back together after more than 15 years apart. It promises the first joint Gallagher interview in over 20 years, plus never-before-seen rehearsal and backstage footage. The film will later stream on Disney+ and Hulu, Muse TV reports.
Trailer Opens With Empty Studio, Then Cardiff Erupts
The trailer begins with a quiet, empty rehearsal room. Then it cuts to the Cardiff opener of Oasis Live '25, and the crowd explodes. That contrast is deliberate. Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace want viewers to see the full journey — from first note in practice to packed stadium, Stereogum reports.
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight serves as the film's creator. Cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos shot the footage, and Oscar-winning sound mixers James Mather and Tarn Willers handled the audio, according to Muse TV. Magna Studios and Sony Music Vision produced the project.
Noel Gallagher Confronts Fear of Another Fallout
The trailer does not shy away from tension. Noel Gallagher says plainly: 'I don't really want to be going back with the tension, will it fall apart again?' That one line captures the central question hanging over the entire reunion, Contact Music reports.
Liam and Noel both discuss whether they can change the Oasis story — one defined for years by bitter public feuding. The brothers split in 2009 after a backstage fight at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. The reunion was announced in 2024 and shocked fans worldwide.
Forgiveness Theme Anchors the Film's Emotional Core
A priest appears in the trailer with a striking line: 'Forgiveness is hard. It costs us something.' The moment frames the documentary as more than a concert film. It is about reconciliation — between two brothers and between the band and its past, Coming Soon notes.
The film traces the band's history of feuds alongside the raw emotional response fans have had to their return. Scenes of tearful crowds and singalongs reinforce how deeply Oasis music connects across generations. Tickets are already on sale at Fandango, Muse TV reports.
Venice Premiere Signals Major Awards and Cultural Push
The Venice premiere on September 5 puts the film in elite company. Venice is one of the world's top film festivals and often launches Oscar contenders. Disney's decision to debut the documentary there signals serious ambitions beyond a standard music film release, Head Topics reports.
IMAX showings are planned alongside standard theatrical runs. The film will then move to Disney+ and Hulu streaming later in 2025. Producers Sam Bridger and Guy Heeley are steering the project alongside a broad executive lineup, making this one of the biggest music documentaries in recent memory.
