On September 4, 2026 the Steven Knight‑produced documentary “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger” premiered at the Venice Film Festival, marking the first public glimpse of the Gallagher brothers’ reunion after a 15‑year split. The film’s world premiere was accompanied by a red‑carpet arrival of Liam and Noel Gallagher in Venice, as reported by AP News and the Seattle Times. Coverage diverges on the motives behind the Gallaghers’ decision to skip the festival press conference.
Variety and The Hollywood Reporter note the absence without providing a rationale, while British Vogue and the Manchester Evening News focus on fashion and local cinema screenings instead. Social media posts on Facebook highlighted the brothers’ arrival, and British Vogue described their “Madchester style” on the red carpet. Meanwhile, Hotpress announced a September 9 cinema release across Greater Manchester, and the Manchester Evening News listed participating venues, indicating a coordinated rollout beyond the festival circuit.
What remains unclear is the detailed content of the brothers’ reconciliation and how it will shape the upcoming tour schedule. Neither the festival reports nor the reviews disclose future concert dates or ticketing plans. Observers will watch for official statements from the band’s management and box‑office performance after the September 9 theatrical launch to gauge the documentary’s impact on the Oasis brand.
