Oasis Don't Look Back In Anger premieres at Venice
The 83rd Venice International Film Festival will host the world premiere of Oasis : Don't Look Back In Anger, Disney has officially confirmed. For anyone tracking where to watch the biggest music releases, mark your calendars : the film hits select IMAX and cinema screens on September 11th, 2026, before landing on Disney+ internationally, and on both Hulu and Disney+ in the United States later the same year.
A documentary built around the Oasis Live '25 reunion tour
Few comebacks in rock history generated this level of anticipation. Oasis Live '25 brought Liam and Noel Gallagher back together after more than 15 years of public feuding, and this film captures every layer of that moment. It is not just a concert film. The documentary follows the band across their sold-out world tour, diving into rehearsal footage, backstage sequences, and full onstage performances.
What makes this production genuinely different is access. The camera gets closer than any Oasis project has before, including the first joint interviews with Noel and Liam in over 20 years. That alone makes this one of the most significant music documentaries in recent memory. If you want a preview of the tone and energy the film is going for, the Oasis documentary teaser trailer featuring their iconic anthem gives a clear idea of what to expect.
Beyond the performances, the film explores the cultural weight of the reunion. Oasis did not just sell tickets; they triggered a collective emotional response across generations. The documentary tries to capture why their music still hits so hard, and what this reunion meant to fans who waited years for it to happen.
Here is a quick breakdown of what the film covers :
- Rehearsal and backstage footage from the Oasis Live '25 tour
- Onstage performances from the sold-out world tour
- First joint Liam and Noel Gallagher interviews in over two decades
- Fan perspectives and the global cultural impact of the reunion
- Never-before-seen archival footage
The creative team behind the film
Oasis : Don't Look Back In Anger is a Magna Studios production, presented by Sony Music Vision in association with Sony Music Entertainment UK. The writing, producing, and directing credits bring serious weight to the project. Steven Knight, the BAFTA and Oscar-nominated creator behind Peaky Blinders and A Thousand Blows, shaped the film as writer and producer. Direction was handled by the duo of Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, who previously directed Shut Up and Play the Hits and Meet Me in the Bathroom, two of the stronger music documentaries of the last decade.
Production was led by Sam Bridger (known for Lewis Capaldi : How I'm Feeling Now) and Guy Heeley (Locke, Peaky Blinders : The Immortal Man). The technical side of the film is equally impressive :
| Role | Name | Notable credits |
|---|---|---|
| Sound mixer | James Mather | Top Gun : Maverick, Belfast |
| Sound mixer | Tarn Willers | The Zone of Interest |
| Cinematographer | Haris Zambarloukos | Belfast, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice |
| Editors | George Cragg & Martina Zamolo | Multiple music and feature projects |
Both James Mather and Tarn Willers are Oscar winners, which tells you something about the production's ambition. This is not a rushed cash-in on the reunion hype. The team behind the camera has the credentials to deliver something that stands on its own as a film, not just as a souvenir for fans who attended the shows.
Executive producers include Kate Shepherd, Marisa Clifford, Davud Karbassioun, Tom Mackay, Krista Wegener, Thomas Benski, Isabel Davis, and Tim O'Shea. The list is long, which reflects the scale of the project and the number of parties involved across Disney, Sony, and Magna.
Where and when to watch the Oasis documentary
The theatrical release on September 11th, 2026 will play in IMAX and select cinemas. If you are used to tracking film and series availability across platforms, this one follows a familiar pattern : a short theatrical window, then a move to streaming. Disney+ gets the international rights, while US audiences can access the film through both Hulu and Disney+.
No exact streaming premiere date has been announced beyond "later this year," which is typical for this kind of release. Keep an eye on Disney+ availability updates if you want to know the exact date it drops on the platform.
One thing worth considering : the IMAX experience for a concert documentary of this calibre is genuinely worth pursuing if you have access. The sound design alone, handled by two Oscar-winning mixers, was built for large-format playback. Watching Oasis perform "Don't Look Back In Anger" through a standard TV speaker will work fine, but it will not be the same as a dedicated cinema environment designed for that kind of audio. If you have the option to see this one in theatres before it moves to your streaming library, that is probably the smarter call.
