Oasis have shared the first trailer for their “landmark” new Steven Knight-directed documentary, telling the story of their reunion and comeback tour.
Today (Saturday July 4) marks the one year anniversary since the mammoth and acclaimed Live ’25 tour kicked off in Cardiff, and now the first glimpse of the film has been shared.
Titled Don’t Look Back In Anger, it will be released in cinemas and on IMAX on September 11, and in this first teaser, we see glimpses of Noel and Liam Gallagher in a rehearsal space interspersed with audio clips of interviews with them both, as well as euphoric crowd shots from the eventual shows.
“I just don’t see myself on stage with Liam, I just don’t see it,” Noel says in one clip recorded before the first Cardiff show.
“The way it finished…unacceptable,” says Liam.

Peaky Blinders creator Knight has overseen and is producing the film, which has been directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, known for the LCD Soundsystem doc Shut Up And Play The Hits.
The documentary will be released into cinemas, including IMAX screens, worldwide for a limited theatrical run from September 11, while it will stream on Disney+ around the world, and on Disney+ alongside Hulu in the US, from a later date in 2026.
It will chart Noel and Liam Gallagher’s return to the frontline, including exclusive footage of rehearsals, backstage insights, onstage access and the first joint interviews with the two brothers in over 25 years. It will also reflect on the impact of the enormous tour and how Oasis’ music has impacted audiences across the generations.
Knight has said: “The Oasis world tour united generations, cultures and countries and spoke to a broken world about reconciliation. 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 and tell it how it is and how it was.”
It follows previous comments from Knight. “I genuinely cannot wait for the world to see this film. I believe it captures the spirit and emotion of a global cultural moment and does justice to the wit and genius of two exceptional people,” he said. “I wanted to tell the story of the brothers and the band, but just as important, the story of the fans whose lives the music has touched and sometimes changed forever. It is also the story of how music and songwriting can unite generations, cultures, countries and in a time of spite and division, give us all some reason to hope.”
According to reports, the project will contain some “phenomenal” footage of Liam and Noel Gallagher’s first meeting ahead of their comeback shows.
Knight hinted earlier this year that his cut of the movie at the time was still four hours long, stressing that “we’ve gotta get it down”, adding: “But it’s a documentary with a plot, do you know what I mean? It’s actually got a story. And then we’ve expanded it…you’ll see when you see it.”
Noel Gallagher recently spoke about the documentary, too, saying: “I’ve only seen a tiny little bit of it and it’s difficult to have an opinion on it because I’m only looking at little snippets.
NME gave the opening night of Live ’25 in Cardiff a glowing five-star review. “After a ‘90s heyday and an often maligned post-millennium era, this is Oasis redesigned for the 21st Century,” it read. “Playing before a pop-art-meets-psychedelia visual spectacular that never distracts but will look sick on a phone, they seem the quintessential stadium band playing the greatest hits of greatest hits.”
In February, Noel revealed he was back in the recording studio. However, it is currently not known whether this was for new Oasis music or something else. The musician had said earlier that he was “back at work” following his Christmas break. Meanwhile, Liam has repeatedly pointed to the band touring again in 2027, even telling Italian fans that they will “100 per cent” be performing in Rome next year. Rumours continue to gather of a return to Knebworth and a long run of Manchester homecoming shows at The Etihad.
