  • Liam and Noel Gallagher attended the Venice premiere of Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger but did not take part in the scheduled press conference.
  • The documentary follows Oasis’s reunion, 2025 world tour and the brothers’ return to working together after years of conflict.
  • Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, along with screenwriter Steven Knight, presented the film instead.

Liam and Noel Gallagher arrived together at the Venice Film Festival to present Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, but the brothers did not appear at the press conference many had expected to hear.

We didn’t look at what happened.

· Steven KnightThe screenwriter explained that the documentary focuses on Oasis’s present rather than rebuilding the dispute that ended the band in 2009.

They arrived at the Lido by water taxi, posed for photographers and kept a low profile around journalists. Their names did not appear on the official schedule for the red-carpet conferences, making it clear that the film’s presentation would fall to directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace and screenwriter Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders.

The interest was especially high because rumors of a possible new Oasis tour have continued since the band announced its reunion. The brothers, whose separation followed years of public clashes and harsh insults, shared the stage again in 2025 for a stadium-filling world tour that ended at São Paulo’s Morumbí Stadium. Their relationship and Oasis’s next steps, however, remain surrounded by mystery.

sort out the shit

· Noel GallagherNoel described how he and Liam dealt with the problems that had separated them.

Knight said the documentary does not try to reconstruct the dispute that ended the band in 2009 or explain what brought the brothers back together. “We didn’t look at what happened,” he said, describing a film focused on the present. The 122-minute documentary follows the preparations for the reunion announced in August 2024 and the subsequent Live ’25 tour, which began in Cardiff and passed through 10 other countries.

without saying a word

· Noel GallagherNoel said the brothers forgave each other without a formal conversation.

The film includes rehearsals, backstage footage and concerts, as well as the brothers’ relationship and the impact of their return on fans. It also contains Liam and Noel’s first joint interview in more than two decades. Noel says they managed to “sort out the shit” that had separated them and forgave each other “without saying a word.” Knight said their personalities made a sentimental scene unlikely: “They weren’t going to hug or cry.”
