Gallagher brothers receive a hero’s welcome at Oasis documentary premiere in London

Liam and Noel Gallagher received a rapturous welcome from Oasis fans at the London premiere of the band’s new documentary, “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger.”

The Manchester-born brothers arrived at Leicester Square shortly before the screening, walking a black carpet rather than the traditional red one. They avoided questions from the press and went straight to meet the fans. After the film’s world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, the London event gave Oasis a home crowd.

Will it work? Will they do it? Will they come together?

Liam wore one of his familiar black parkas, while Noel chose a brown suede jacket and blue shirt. The brothers shared moments of apparent closeness outside and inside the Cineworld cinema, where they presented the film alongside its creator, Steven Knight, and directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace.

they did

Knight said the central question he had in mind while making the documentary was: “Will it work? Will they do it? Will they come together?” His answer, he said, was that “they did.” He described the brothers’ honesty during the more than two-hour production as overwhelming. The film includes the first joint interview with Liam and Noel in more than two decades, along with humor and frequent profanity.

The documentary follows Oasis during its Oasis Live ’25 comeback tour, held a year after the band returned from a 16-year separation marked by a highly publicized fraternal split in Paris in 2009. It tracks the brothers’ reunion from rehearsals to stages around the world, with the band’s best-known songs as its soundtrack.

It is a film about reconciliation through music.

“It is a film about reconciliation through music,” Southern said. He and Lovelace also said the band’s followers became central to the story, almost like another member of Oasis. Knight said the brothers wanted him to conduct the interview because he was not a journalist. “It was not an interview, it was a conversation. They are simply talking and saying what they think,” he said.
