Oasis trailer puts bust-ups & brotherly love in spotlight

The long-awaited documentary focusing on Oasis, titled "Don't Look Back in Anger," is set to premiere in cinemas on 9 September, with an exclusive streaming release on Disney+ in Ireland to follow. This film offers an in-depth look at the highly anticipated reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher, whose relationship has shaped much of Oasis’ history.

Central to the documentary is the exploration of the brothers' personal and professional dynamics, which have oscillated between deep-seated conflict and collaboration. Their estrangement, lasting over 15 years following a notorious altercation backstage at the 2009 Rock en Seine festival in France, forms a crucial backdrop to the narrative.

The documentary captures moments from the band’s Live '25 reunion tour, a landmark series of concerts that marked Oasis’s return to large-scale performances after a prolonged hiatus. Among the tour’s highlights was a notable stop at Dublin’s Croke Park in August 2025, reestablishing the band’s presence in the live music scene.

From behind-the-scenes rehearsals to onstage performances, the film provides unprecedented access to both the creative process and the atmosphere surrounding this global event. Viewers are offered a rare glimpse into the emotional landscape of the band members and their connection with fans, underscoring the enduring impact Oasis’s music continues to have across generations.

Produced by Steven Knight, known for his work on "Peaky Blinders" and other acclaimed projects, and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, the documentary promises a comprehensive portrayal that balances the tensions and the brotherly bonds that define the Gallagher relationship.

Notably, the documentary features the first joint interview with Liam and Noel Gallagher in over two decades, providing fresh insights into their shared history and the circumstances leading to their reunion. This interview is a key component, as it allows the brothers to reflect candidly on their past conflicts as well as their current collaboration.

The film also situates the reunion within the wider cultural significance of the band’s legacy. It examines how Oasis's music has resonated worldwide and retains a potent emotional influence on fans. The Live '25 tour, as documented in the film, represents more than just a series of concerts — it is portrayed as a pivotal cultural moment that rekindled the spirit of one of rock’s most influential bands.

Although specific details about the documentary’s full content remain limited, rte.ie reports that the narrative adopts an uplifting tone, focusing on celebration and reconciliation rather than dwelling solely on discord. This approach aims to capture the essence of the reunion as a triumph rather than a mere retrospective.

The Oasis reunion tour, announced in August 2024, effectively closed a 15-year chapter marked by separation and individual pursuits. The documentary’s timing, coinciding with the tour and subsequent streaming release, highlights a renewed chapter in the Gallagher brothers’ story and offers fans a comprehensive account of a seminal event in contemporary music history.
