Oasis reunion film headed to IMAX and Disney+ after limited theatrical run

Steven Knight’s long-gestating documentary about Oasis’ Live ’25 reunion will open in cinemas — including IMAX — from September 11, before landing on Disney+ worldwide (and on Disney+ plus Hulu in the US) at a later date in 2026.

The project, still untitled, is being produced and overseen by the Peaky Blinders creator and writer-producer Steven Knight. Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelance, the pair behind the LCD Soundsystem film Shut Up And Play The Hits, are at the helm, following Noel and Liam Gallagher as they returned to stadiums for the huge Live ’25 tour.

According to the producers, the film stitches together exclusive rehearsal footage, backstage insight, onstage access and what are being billed as the first joint interviews with the brothers in more than 25 years. Those elements are meant to map both the mechanics of the reunion and the emotional gravity of seeing Oasis back on the frontline for multiple generations of fans.

“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.”

Reports say the documentary will include some “phenomenal” footage of Liam and Noel Gallagher’s first meeting ahead of their comeback shows — material that, if the hype is to be believed, could be the emotional spine of the film.

Knight has previously admitted his first cut ran about four hours and that trimming it was a serious task. “We’ve gotta get it down,” he said earlier this year, adding that the movie is “a documentary with a plot” and that the team had expanded the scope, promising viewers they would see the shape of the story when it arrives.

Noel Gallagher himself has seen only fragments so far. “I’ve only seen a tiny little bit of it and it’s difficult to have an opinion on it because I’m only looking at little snippets.”

In February Noel revealed he was back in the recording studio, though it was not made clear whether those sessions were for new Oasis material or other projects. He said at the time he was “back at work” following a Christmas break.

Critics and fans have already been weighing the Live ’25 shows. NME gave the Cardiff opening night a five-star review, writing: “After a ‘90s heyday and an often maligned post-millennium era, this is Oasis redesigned for the 21st Century. Playing before a pop-art-meets-psychedelia visual spectacular that never distracts but will look sick on a phone, they seem the quintessential stadium band playing the greatest hits of greatest hits.”

Whatever shape the final cut takes, the decision to pair a limited global theatrical roll-out, IMAX screens and a later streaming release on Disney+ signals the producers see this as more than a tour film — it’s being positioned as a cultural event that needs to be seen across formats.
