The Peaky Blinders creator has overseen and is producing the film, which will document the Britpop giants’ return as they embarked on their huge Live ‘25 reunion tour. It will be directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelance, known for the LCD Soundsystem doc Shut Up And Play The Hits.
Now, it has been revealed that the as-yet-untitled film will be released into cinemas, including IMAX screens, worldwide for a limited theatrical run from September 11, while it will stream on Disney+ around the world, and on Disney+ alongside Hulu in the US, from a later date in 2026.
It will chart Noel and Liam Gallagher’s return to the frontline, including exclusive footage of rehearsals, backstage insights, onstage access and the first joint interviews with the two brothers in over 25 years. It will also reflect on the impact of the enormous tour and how Oasis’ music has impacted audiences across the generations.
Knight has said: “I genuinely cannot wait for the world to see this film. I believe it captures the spirit and emotion of a global cultural moment and does justice to the wit and genius of two exceptional people. I wanted to tell the story of the brothers and the band, but just as important, the story of the fans whose lives the music has touched and sometimes changed forever. It is also the story of how music and songwriting can unite generations, cultures, countries and in a time of spite and division, give us all some reason to hope.”
According to reports, the project will contain some “phenomenal” footage of Liam and Noel Gallagher’s first meeting ahead of their comeback shows.
Knight hinted earlier this year that his cut of the movie at the time was still four hours long, stressing that “we’ve gotta get it down”, adding: “But it’s a documentary with a plot, do you know what I mean? It’s actually got a story. And then we’ve expanded it…you’ll see when you see it.”
Noel Gallagher recently spoke about the documentary, too, saying: “I’ve only seen a tiny little bit of it and it’s difficult to have an opinion on it because I’m only looking at little snippets.
In February, Noel revealed he was back in the recording studio. However, it is currently not known whether this was for new Oasis music or something else. The musician had said earlier that he was “back at work” following his Christmas break.
NME gave the opening night of Live ’25 in Cardiff a glowing five-star review. “After a ‘90s heyday and an often maligned post-millennium era, this is Oasis redesigned for the 21st Century,” it read. “Playing before a pop-art-meets-psychedelia visual spectacular that never distracts but will look sick on a phone, they seem the quintessential stadium band playing the greatest hits of greatest hits.”
