Oasis Reunion Tour Documentary Offers Glimpse into Brothers' Tense Yet Emotional Journey
Confirmed
In Short: A new documentary captures the behind-the-scenes story of Oasis' reunion tour, highlighting the complex relationship between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher.
The documentary 'Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger' offers a unique look at the band's comeback, revealing the emotional and occasionally tense journey of Noel and Liam Gallagher as they reunited Oasis for a massive tour.
One of the most entertaining aspects of the film is watching Noel acknowledge the enduring appeal of his brother on stage, while the documentary also shows Liam giving up drinking and smoking to treat the band's catalog with the respect it deserved.
The tour, which brought the Britpop icons back to stages around the world, was a long-awaited reunion for fans who had spent over a decade wondering if they would ever see the brothers together again.
The film, directed by Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern with creative input from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, provides unprecedented access to the band as they prepare for the reunion, showcasing moments of disagreement and moments of shared laughter.
Despite the challenges, the documentary captures the brothers' growing relationship and the emotional impact of their performances, particularly at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, which Liam described as a 'hugely emotional' experience.
What's still developing
- They were walking straight into stadiums packed with tens of thousands of people who had spent more than a decade wondering whether they'd ever see the brothers together again.
- Instead, it shows a more complicated relationship—one where the brothers can still annoy each other, still disagree, while finding a way to make Oasis work again.
- The documentary also shows younger fans embracing the band and singing along to songs that were released long before some of them were even born.
- And unsurprisingly, getting Oasis back together wasn't exactly smooth sailing.
- One particular moment involves Liam balancing a tambourine on his head during the tour.
- But that's part of what makes the documentary so interesting.
- The directors told Behnaz Akhgar on BBC Radio Wales how the brothers' relationship grew as the tour progressed.
- The film, Don't Look Back In Anger, shows that Columbia was the first song they practised during the reunion rehearsal.
