The documentary capturing Oasis's long-awaited reunion, Don't Look Back in Anger, will make its world premiere at the 2026 Venice Film Festival, which runs September 2 through 12. The selection gives one of the most anticipated music films of the year a prestige launch on the Lido — and, according to festival organizers, a red-carpet reunion of the band's famously combative brothers.
The film documents Oasis's 2025 reunion tour, the run of shows that brought Noel and Liam Gallagher back to the same stage for the first time in 16 years after a long and public estrangement. For fans who spent more than a decade wondering whether the Britpop giants would ever perform together again, the documentary promises an inside view of the moment they finally did.
What's in the film
Don't Look Back in Anger is built from rehearsal, backstage and concert footage shot across the reunion tour, and it includes something rarer still: Noel and Liam's first joint interviews in more than 20 years. That combination — the spectacle of the shows alongside the brothers actually sitting down together — is the heart of the film's appeal, offering both the live experience and a glimpse of the relationship that has defined, and repeatedly fractured, the band.
The documentary is directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, the filmmaking duo behind the earlier Oasis film Lord Don't Slow Me Down, giving the project a team with a direct history documenting the group.
The Gallaghers are expected in Venice
Perhaps the most striking detail is the promise of an appearance. Venice festival director Alberto Barbera told a press conference announcing the lineup that "the Gallagher brothers have promised they will be in Venice" — a notable commitment given the brothers' history of unpredictability and their years of refusing to share a room, let alone a stage or a step-and-repeat.
When you can see it
After the Venice premiere, Don't Look Back in Anger is set to reach the widest possible audience quickly. It opens in theaters and IMAX on September 11 (with a September 10 debut noted for Australia and New Zealand), before streaming later in 2026 on Hulu and Disney+. That rollout — festival, big-screen, then streaming — positions the film to move from art-house premiere to mass event within weeks, mirroring the scale of the reunion tour it documents.
