Oasis Documentary Directors Reveal "Definite Tension" Between Liam and Noel Gallagher
Directors say 16 years of anticipation helped turn early brotherly tension into a reunion tour focused on rehearsals and strong performances.
- The documentary 'Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger', produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, arrives in UK cinemas on September 9, featuring previously unseen backstage and rehearsal footage from the band's reunion tour.
- Directors Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern observed "definite tension" between Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher during filming, with Southern describing their studio reunion as "workmanlike" and noting the brothers avoided emotional displays when reuniting.
- The band's 'Live '25' tour generated more than $400 million in box office revenue across 12 concerts, though Lovelace noted the visible friction between the brothers subsided once they played their first comeback gig in Cardiff.
- Following a limited theatrical run in select U.S. cinemas on September 11, the film will stream later this year on Hulu and Disney+; Knight noted the Gallaghers have seen the documentary and were "beyond satisfied."
- The reunion represented a "real moment of alchemy" for fans who waited 16 years to see the group perform again, capturing an emotional milestone documented throughout the global tour.
