Oasis Documentary ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ Selected for Venice Film Festival

The Oasis reunion documentary Don’t Look Back in Anger is set to receive its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, marking another significant moment in the band’s extraordinary return to the centre of popular culture.

The film follows Oasis Live ’25, the comeback tour that brought Liam and Noel Gallagher back onto the same stage after sixteen years apart.

Created by Peaky Blinders writer Steven Knight and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace — the filmmakers behind Meet Me in the Bathroom and Shut Up and Play the Hits — the documentary promises to be far more than a conventional concert film.

Cameras followed Oasis through rehearsals, backstage preparations and the enormous stadium shows that defined the reunion, while Liam and Noel also sat down together for their first joint interview in more than twenty years.

That combination gives the film something few previous Oasis documentaries have been able to offer: the spectacle of the band at full scale alongside the brothers themselves reflecting on what it means to be back together.

The Venice premiere is significant.

The festival is one of the world’s major film events, regularly providing the launchpad for documentaries and features that go on to dominate critical discussion and awards season.

For Oasis, appearing there underlines just how far the Live ’25 reunion has travelled beyond the boundaries of music news.

What began as one of the most anticipated comeback tours in British music has become a much wider cultural event — and the documentary is clearly being positioned accordingly.

There is also something fitting about the timing.

For years, the Oasis story was defined as much by the brothers’ separation as by the music they made together. Don’t Look Back in Anger arrives from the opposite direction: not as another examination of why the band fell apart, but as a record of what happened when the seemingly impossible reunion finally became real.

The documentary is scheduled for a worldwide cinema and IMAX release in September, with a Disney+ release expected to follow internationally. A confirmed streaming date has not yet been announced.

The project was originally announced on 8 May.

Its selection for Venice now offers the clearest indication yet of the ambition surrounding the finished film — and of how confidently its makers believe the story of Oasis getting back together can stand as more than simply another chapter in the band’s history.
