Oasis mania hit Venice Film Festival on Saturday night as Liam and Noel Gallagher presented the world premiere of their highly anticipated documentary “Don’t Look Back in Anger.”
The rock doc received an eight-minute standing ovation as the once-estranged brothers held hands and raised them triumphantly. The atmosphere in the Palazzo del Cinema was electric as fans clamored to get a photo, autograph or just a look at the iconic musicians. Before the screening, the brothers were greeted with cheers of “C’mon, boys!” and “Fight!” One fan even brought a Man City flag (their football club of choice) and flew it over the balcony.
Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, the documentary “charts Liam and Noel Gallagher’s triumphant reunion tour, Oasis Live ‘25, one of the most anticipated rock ‘n’ roll comebacks of our time,” according to its official synopsis. The film, which premieres in theaters Sept. 11 before bowing on Disney+ later this year, boasts footage of the band both backstage and onstage as well as the first joint interview with often-feuding brothers Noel and Liam in over 20 years.
The success of Oasis Live ’25 — and the fact that the brothers are still getting along well enough to do press for their documentary together — has sparked rumors of a further Oasis tour, perhaps next year. Though the Gallaghers weren’t on hand at the film’s press conference earlier on Saturday to field questions, the band has posted several cryptic teasers on Instagram that have sent fans into detective mode. Adding to the speculation, Noel said in a recent interview on Talksport: “Let’s put it this way: there’s no football tournament on next year, so we’ve got to do something in the summer, right?”
