Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger ★★★★

Released: 9 September 2026

Director: Will Lovelace, Dylan Southern

The concert event of last year was undoubtedly the return of the Gallagher brothers and Oasis, 16 years after they last played on stage together. It was inevitable that this monumental cultural event which crossed the generational divide would carry into 2026, with more dates heavily rumoured for 2027.

Peaky Blinders’ creator Steven Knight, along with directors Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern, bring the brothers’ ruminations on the tour build-up and aftermath to the big screen in Don’t Look Back In Anger. It is a timely recollection of the key events and response to the tour but it does gloss over some of the initial fallout, instead playing more as a joyous celebration.

The big coup is a joint interview between Noel and Liam, their first in years. This is an instant highlight: their chalk-and-cheese nature as engaging as ever. The pair burying the hatchet is something fans thought they might never see, with debate around whether they could last one gig, let alone the whole tour. We get some insight into the tour preparations and rehearsals; Liam guarded and leaving unannounced, an indicator perhaps of how seriously he was taking things, which shone through in his vocal performance.

One of the real treats here is the fan interactions, not just in the UK but in Asia, South America and other parts of Europe. We see how much these songs mean to everyday people and the stories they’ve inspired and responses to many hearing those songs live for the first time. This speaks volumes for the band’s continued pull and influence beyond the UK, something that’s often overlooked. These little soundbites result in some of the most unique and emotional parts of the film.

The film shines in the tour footage; seeing these tunes live will fill a hole for those who couldn’t make it and bring back a flood of memories for those who did. Seeing Little By Little, Champagne Supernova, Supersonic and more, captures their staying power and how tight as a unit the band sounded across their reunion shows. Even if the film skirts around some of the more interesting, interpersonal dynamics of the siblings and the 15 years they spent not speaking, there is so much to enjoy in what is a jubilant commemoration of a reunion that once seemed impossible.
