The Gallagher Brothers Hated Each Other for Years. Now They Hold Hands at the Oasis Film Premiere

After 16 years of public quarrels, Liam and Noel Gallagher arrived together at the world premiere of Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger in Venice. Their appearance offered fans the long-awaited sight of one of rock music’s most famous feuds finally giving way to reconciliation.

The brothers wore coordinated black outfits, chatted, laughed and posed for photographers. At one point, they even held hands, a gesture that delighted some observers and left others almost choking on the surprise. It was their first public appearance together in years and a striking sign that the conflict might truly be over.

Directed by Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern, the documentary follows the band’s Live ’25 comeback tour, described as one of the biggest music events of the previous year. It includes footage from rehearsals, backstage scenes and sold-out concerts around the world. The film also features the first joint interviews with Noel and Liam in more than two decades.

Oasis broke up in 2009 after a fierce dispute between the brothers. Liam and Noel then pursued separate careers, frequently trading insults in public and leaving little apparent room for a reunion. That changed when the comeback tour was announced in August 2024. It began in Cardiff in July 2025 and continued through sold-out shows in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia. Tickets disappeared at record speed, showing that interest in the band had not faded.

The reconciliation arrives as Britpop enjoys renewed popularity. Songs by Oasis, Blur and Pulp are reaching new audiences on social media, while 1990s fashion has returned to everyday life. Oasis’s “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” remains one of the United Kingdom’s best-selling albums, and “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova” remain fixtures of popular culture.
