A “landmark” Oasis documentary created by Peaky Blinders director Steven Knight is to be shown in cinemas later this year.

The untitled feature film will chart Liam and Noel Gallagher’s triumphant reunion tour Oasis Live ’25, “one of the most anticipated rock ‘n’ roll comebacks of our time”, producers said.

It will include rehearsal, backstage and onstage access, as well as the first joint interviews with the brothers in more than 25 years.

Featuring unprecedented access and never-before-seen footage, the film is a magna studios production, presented by Sony Music Vision in association with Sony Music Entertainment UK.

Alongside the band’s sold-out world tour, the film also explores what their music means to their fans around the world.

It was created by Oscar-nominated writer, producer, and director Knight and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace.

Knight said: “I genuinely cannot wait for the world to see this film. I believe it captures the spirit and emotion of a global cultural moment and does justice to the wit and genius of two exceptional people.

“I wanted to tell the story of the brothers and the band but, just as important, the story of the fans whose lives the music has touched and sometimes changed forever.

“It is also the story of how music and songwriting can unite generations, cultures, countries, and, in a time of spite and division, give us all some reason to hope.”

The documentary opens in select Imax and cinemas worldwide from September 11th, and will stream exclusively on Disney+ internationally and on Hulu and Disney+ in the US later this year.

The Oasis reunion tour was announced in August 2024, 15 years after their dramatic split in 2009, which was prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival.

The band have had eight number one singles and albums each in the UK chart, with Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, and Some Might Say among their most well-known hits.
