A Trailer That Shows the Stakes
On August 18, 2026, a new trailer for the Oasis documentary "Don't Look Back In Anger" hit the internet. The same day, cinema tickets went on sale worldwide for the September 11 release. This is not a quick behind-the-scenes clip. The two-hour film, produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, promises to be a deep look at the band's 2025 reunion tour, Oasis Live '25.
The trailer shows Liam Gallagher at a microphone in a dark rehearsal room. Noel Gallagher speaks in a voiceover about past "tension" between the brothers. He asks aloud, "Will it fall apart again?" The clip then cuts to euphoric concert footage from the tour's opening night in Cardiff. Liam says the reunion is "a chance to change the narrative of the band."
What the Doc Contains
Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace - The team behind the LCD Soundsystem concert film Shut Up And Play The Hits - The documentary goes further than concert footage. A synopsis describes it as "an unapologetically uplifting account of the biggest musical event of 2025." It also promises "unprecedented access and never-before-seen footage."
Most importantly for fans who have followed the band's famous feuds, the film includes the Gallagher brothers' first joint interview in over 20 years. They sit down together to tell "it how it is and how it was," according to Knight. The producer has also said the tour "united generations, cultures and countries and spoke to a broken world about reconciliation."
Why This Doc Matters for Oasis Fans
Director Steven Knight has described the footage of Liam and Noel's first meeting before the reunion shows as "phenomenal." Noel himself has said he has only seen small parts of the film but that everyone who has seen more says it is "amazing." He added, "If it even captures five per cent of what that tour was, it'll be astonishing."
The trailer also gives voice to what makes Oasis shows so powerful. Noel says in the clip, "The songs are one thing, but I'd forgotten what he [Liam] means to people." He goes on to say he "wasn't prepared for the intense outpouring… a sense of what it meant to people." This focus on the emotional connection between the band and its audience may be the heart of the movie. For listeners who want to revisit the music behind those feelings, Oasis lyrics and songs are waiting on AskLyrics.
Where and When to Watch
Cinema screenings begin on September 11 worldwide, including IMAX. Special limited IMAX early access screenings will happen in the US and Canada on September 9. UK fans can book tickets at Vue, Showcase, Cineworld, and IMAX. The world premiere is set for September 5 at the Venice Film Festival, where Liam and Noel are expected to attend together.
After its theatrical run, the film will land on Disney+ globally and on both Disney+ and Hulu in the US. No exact streaming date has been announced yet.
The trailer comes as rumors swirl about Oasis playing UK and European dates in 2027. Word has it that a homecoming residency in Manchester and a return to Knebworth could be in the works. The promoter of the Live '25 tour recently got a license to host concerts at Knebworth, which makes those whispers louder. However, Liam has seemingly rejected the idea of a new Oasis album. For now, fans should keep an eye on the music news radar for any tour announcements.
How This Fits Into Oasis History
The documentary's trailer and release date arrive weeks after Oasis celebrated the 30th anniversary of their original two-night stand at Knebworth in 1996. That moment was captured in a previous documentary, Oasis: Supersonic, which ended with those famous shows. This new film picks up the story almost 30 years later, showing a reunited band playing to sold-out stadiums around the world. It is a rare second act for a band whose history is filled with breakups and bitter words.
