According to Associated Press reports, the Gallagher brothers made a rare joint public appearance at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday for the world premiere of their reunion tour documentary, “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger.” True to rock star form, Noel and Liam Gallagher bypassed the standard press conference entirely, offering only brief waves to photographers on the Lido docks before departing.
Documentary Explores Tension and Reconciliation
According to Associated Press reporting, “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger” combines concert footage with an examination of the volatile dynamic between Noel and Liam Gallagher. Their long-standing feud culminated in a backstage altercation in Paris in 2009 moments before a scheduled performance, leading to the band’s theatrical breakup.

According to Associated Press coverage, Noel once described his brother as “the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.” Meanwhile, Liam told the Guardian in 2018 that his brother “did me out, mate, he threw me under the [expletive] bus, and I won’t forget that.”
Did you know? Oasis formed in working-class Manchester, England, in 1991. Their 1994 debut album, Definitely Maybe, reached No. 1, while their 1995 follow-up, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, became one of the bestselling albums in U.K. history.
Behind the Scenes of the 2025 Reunion Tour
According to Associated Press sources, the documentary captures never-before-seen rehearsals—where tension rises visibly when Liam enters—alongside what was reportedly the brothers’ first joint interview in 25 years. Writer Steven Knight stated via the Associated Press that he and Noel wanted to investigate why the band’s music endured across generations, driving massive demand for their return.
According to the Associated Press, filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace interviewed the brothers separately prior to rehearsals and together during the tour. In their directors’ statement provided to the AP, they noted, “We set out to make a film about the reconciliation of two brothers, infamous for their volatile relationship, but we also wanted to make a film about the power of music.”

According to Associated Press reporting, the 2025 reunion tour kicked off in Cardiff, Wales, playing to a crowd of over 60,000 fans. The touring lineup featured former members Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Gem Archer on guitar, bassist Andy Bell, and drummer Joey Waronker.
