Following the reconciliation of estranged brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher and a UK and Ireland tour planned for next year, it seems their much-celebrated reform may now be brought to the screen in the form of a documentary.
According to an insider who spoke to The Sun, AppleTV+ bosses are reportedly vying to capture the brothers in the run-up to their trek next summer in a documentary similar to the Beatles’ Get Back, which showed the making of the iconic band’s 1970 album ‘Let It Be’.
“This is set to be the film of the decade, with Apple TV+ proposing huge money to bag the rights to this documentary,” an insider told the newspaper.
“They are facing competition from other streamers such as Amazon Prime and Netflix but Apple have thrown all their weight behind this one.
“Fans can expect it to be in the same style as the Beatles documentary which gave a never-before-seen insight into the band.”
Oasis were previously the subject of the 2016 documentary Oasis: Supersonic, which charted their roots and rise to music superstardom. NME praised it in a five-star review as “rousing, heart-rending and really f**king funny”.
While anticipation for fans to finally watch the newly reformed Oasis after 16 years apart is sky-high, ticket sales for the concerts weren’t without controversy.
Hundreds of thousands of fans were held in online queues – some reporting that they were kicked out after being identified as bots – and many were surprised by Ticketmaster’s ‘dynamic pricing’ feature, which resulted in surge pricing in response to demand.
The issue has since been brought to the Advertising Standards Agency, with separate investigations suggested by the UK government and the European Commission.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has even weighed in, calling for a review of the policy and secondary ticket sites.
According to experts, not warning fans about ‘dynamic pricing’ prior to the sale may have been a breach of consumer law.
However Oasis responded to the pricing drama with a statement which read: “Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used.”
Some fans were given a second chance to bag tickets when they announced two extra reunion shows for Wembley Stadium in London via “a special invitation-only ballot” for those who missed out previously. However, fans were still divided by the new system.
The band are due to perform 19 shows in total in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin. Plans for concerts outside of Europe are currently underway too.
Meanwhile, the Britpop legends have already shut down speculation that they might be playing Glastonbury next year. However, it’s possible that Liam has hinted at a new Oasis album.
