Liam and Noel Gallagher Turn Venice Premiere Into an Oasis Singalong

After the two-hour film, the audience delivered an eight-minute standing ovation, according to the outlet. People sang “Champagne Supernova,” and Liam signed autographs from the stairs. He appeared ready to leave at first and gestured for a drink, but a member of the filmmaking team persuaded him to remain.

Then Liam took Noel’s hand. They lifted their arms together, receiving another roar. A film festival can spend all week trying to manufacture grandeur. Sometimes two brothers manage it with one raised clasp.

“Don’t Look Back in Anger” Records the Reunion at Work

Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger draws on rehearsals, backstage access and stadium performances from the Live ’25 tour. Steven Knight created the film, which followed the band across 12 concerts on three continents, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

The documentary also contains the brothers’ first joint interview in more than two decades, according to the outlet. That places a different weight on the quieter footage. A rehearsal room can reveal distance without anybody explaining it. The Daily Mail reported that remote cameras were used during rehearsals so the band could be filmed without a crew disturbing the room.

The filmmakers began while relations were still strained, the Daily Mail reported. Liam and Noel travelled separately and were interviewed apart at first. The paper described an early rehearsal in which neither brother could look the other in the eye. Those details make the Venice hand-holding less like a handy photograph and more like evidence of work completed over time.

Noel Gallagher Says the Brothers Now Meet as Equals

Noel described their present relationship in unusually tender terms. “We get along now; we text like normal people,” he said, as reported by the Daily Mail. He credited the music with bringing them together and said the old irritations had faded.

Noel also said he had sometimes turned his back to the crowd during the 41-date tour to hide his tears. Liam, meanwhile, said in the documentary that the reconciliation happened without an apology or a grand speech. According to the Daily Mail, he reduced the old rupture to a plain remark: they had an argument, and he had not meant matters to become what they did.

Nobody outside the family can settle the emotional account between them. The reporting does establish that they can now rehearse, perform, sit for an interview and attend a premiere together. For the musicians, filmmakers and touring workers around Oasis, that difference is practical as well as sentimental. The show can happen because the brothers can stay in the room.

The Oasis Film Leaves Venice for Cinemas

The film screened in Venice’s out-of-competition program, so it was never chasing the Golden Lion. Its next stop is the paying audience. The Manchester Evening News reported a limited UK cinema release beginning September 9, followed by Disney+ at a later date. The Hollywood Reporter said select IMAX and US cinemas will open the film September 11, with Hulu carrying it later in the year in the United States and Disney+ streaming it internationally.

That rollout will turn private-looking moments into a public record: the separate arrivals, the uneasy rehearsal and the shared interview. Venice offered one more image for the reel. Liam reached for Noel’s hand, and this time his brother held on.

Every factual claim above is drawn from these. The reading of them is ours.
