The Oasis reunion tour is already one of the biggest rock stories in recent memory. Now, it is getting the big-screen documentary treatment, with Steven Knight helping shape the official record.
Disney, Magna Studios, and Sony Music Vision have announced a currently untitled Oasis documentary that will open in select IMAX and theaters worldwide for a limited theatrical engagement beginning September 11. The film will stream later this year internationally on Disney+ and in the U.S. on Hulu and Disney+.

Created by Knight, the BAFTA- and Oscar-nominated writer, producer, and director behind “Peaky Blinders” and “A Thousand Blows,” Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace direct the film, the filmmaking team behind “Shut Up and Play the Hits” and “Meet Me in the Bathroom.” That is a promising fit on paper: Southern and Lovelace have already shown a sharp sense for music, performance, nostalgia, and the strange emotional charge that happens when a band becomes shorthand for a particular generation.
The documentary follows Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher’s Oasis Live ’25 reunion tour, billed here as one of the defining rock comeback events of 2025. The film includes rehearsal, backstage, and onstage access, along with the first joint interviews with the Gallagher brothers in over 25 years. It will also follow the audience side of the story, looking at the fans who made the reunion feel like a cultural event rather than just another nostalgia play.
Knight framed the film as a story about the band and its audience.
“I genuinely cannot wait for the world to see this film,” Knight said. “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.”
That last piece is the obvious dramatic spine. Oasis has never been a band short on mythology. Still, the reunion carried a very specific charge: the long public rupture between the Gallaghers, the fan demand that never really went away, and the question of what the songs mean now when multiple generations are singing them back. The film appears to be leaning directly into that emotional scale, with the theatrical IMAX rollout suggesting Disney sees this as a communal event first and a streaming title second.
Eric Schrier, President of Direct-to-Consumer International Originals, Strategic Programming, and Emerging Media, called the project “an intimate story of reconciliation, the power of music, and Oasis, one of the most successful and influential acts of all time.”
“Opportunities like this are incredibly rare,” Schrier said. “It’s a privilege to bring this extraordinary film to the big screen and to Disney+ subscribers around the world.”
