Oasis is back on the big screen: What to expect from ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’

The Gallagher brothers’ reunion gets an intimate cinematic treatment, bringing backstage access, stadium anthems, and a story of reconciliation.

Oasis fans in the Philippines who missed the band’s monumental reunion in 2025—or want to experience it all over again—will soon have another chance to be part of the crowd. Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger is arriving in Philippine cinemas on September 11 to 13, bringing the band’s 2025 comeback to the big screen after its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 5.

The documentary follows Liam and Noel Gallagher as they reunite for their first tour together since Oasis split in 2009. With access to rehearsals, backstage spaces, and sold-out concerts, the film promises a closer look at the music, the brothers, and the millions of fans who made the reunion a global event.

A backstage pass to the Gallagher reunion

The biggest draw is the access to the brothers themselves. The film includes their first joint interviews in more than two decades, offering a rare opportunity to hear Liam and Noel discuss their shared history and return to performing together. It also follows the preparations that took place before the stadium lights came on.

The trailer suggests that the reunion was not without uncertainty. In an interview, Noel reflects on the possibility that old tensions could return, while the footage moves between intimate moments and the overwhelming scale of the tour. The result is a story that acknowledges the brothers’ complicated relationship without losing sight of the excitement surrounding their comeback.

The songs, the stadiums, and the fans

Concert footage is central to the experience with the film tracing the scale and atmosphere of Oasis Live ’25. Audiences can expect the band’s defining anthems, including “Champagne Supernova” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” which feature in the trailer. The film’s theatrical and IMAX presentation is designed to bring the sound and spectacle of the reunion into cinemas.

Apart from the performances, the documentary also explores what Oasis means to different generations. It follows fans across the world and captures the emotional response to seeing the band return after 16 years apart. For those who grew up with the music, the film offers a return to familiar songs; for younger listeners, it provides a window into why the Gallagher brothers remain such an influential force in rock.

The filmmakers behind the comeback

The documentary was created by Steven Knight, the creator and primary writer behind Peaky Blinders, and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, whose previous music films include Shut Up and Play the Hits and Meet Me in the Bathroom. Produced by Magna Studios and presented by Sony Music Vision in association with Sony Music Entertainment UK, the film combines cinematic concert coverage with intimate documentary access.

Its Venice premiere also offeres an early indication of the film’s tone. Reviews have highlighted the joy and poignancy of the reunion, as well as the way the brothers’ history gives the performances added emotional weight. The documentary is ultimately an account of a band returning to the stage and discovering how much its music still matters.

When and where to watch in the Philippines

Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger is scheduled for a Philippine theatrical release on September 11, with SM Cinema among the local exhibitors announcing screenings. The film will also receive a theatrical and IMAX release internationally before arriving on Disney+ later in 2026. Philippine viewers should check their preferred cinema’s official booking channels for confirmed screening dates and showtimes.

For fans who have waited years to see Liam and Noel share a stage again, the documentary offers more than a recording of a concert. It is a chance to witness the preparation, the uncertainty, and the extraordinary response to a reunion that once seemed unlikely—and to hear those songs surrounded by an audience once more.
