Brothers and Oasis frontmen Liam Gallagher, 53, and Noel Gallagher, 59, made headlines on September 5, 2026, as they reunited on the red carpet at the Venice International Film Festival. Their appearance came ahead of the screening of their new documentary, Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, which chronicles their tumultuous relationship and the band’s much-anticipated reunion tour in 2025.
The documentary, directed by Steven Knight, Will Lovelace, and Dylan Southern, is set to open in theaters on September 11, 2026, before streaming on Hulu and Disney+. During the red carpet event, the Gallagher brothers appeared to have put their past disputes behind them, smiling, hugging, and even holding hands in what fans interpreted as a victory pose.
Oasis, known for iconic hits like "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova," has been a staple in British rock since the 1990s. The band split in August 2009 after a notorious brawl between the brothers, which led to Noel's departure from the group. Since then, both brothers have pursued solo careers, but their reconciliation during the 2025 tour has sparked renewed interest in their dynamic.
The Venice Film Festival screening was filled with excitement, with fans chanting “Oasis! Oasis! Oasis!” as the brothers arrived. The event included a dramatic entrance by boat, and attendees were treated to an eight-minute standing ovation after the film's screening. The atmosphere was electric, with audience members singing along to songs like "Champagne Supernova" and some reportedly moved to tears.
During the standing ovation, Liam was seen checking his watch and jokingly asking, “Should we f*** off?” This moment highlighted the brothers' humorous rapport, contrasting sharply with their historically contentious relationship. Noel, at one point, appeared to wipe tears from his eyes, signaling the emotional weight of the occasion.
Fans also brought a Manchester City flag—an homage to the brothers' favorite football club—which they flew over the balcony during the screening. The scene turned chaotic when the Gallaghers descended into the crowd to sign autographs, creating a mild mosh pit as fans clamored for selfies and signatures.
The release of the documentary has reignited speculation about the future of Oasis. Following the success of their reunion tour, which reportedly grossed hundreds of millions across various countries, fans are eagerly anticipating potential new music or another tour. Earlier this year, Noel hinted at the possibility during an interview, stating, “Let’s put it this way: there’s no football tournament on next year, so we’ve got to do something in the summer, right?”
As the documentary explores the brothers' reconciliation and the behind-the-scenes dynamics of their reunion tour, it has become a symbol of hope for many who have experienced family estrangement. The Gallaghers' public display of unity has resonated with fans, some of whom have expressed their own struggles with familial relationships.
In the days leading up to the film’s premiere, Oasis began releasing teaser videos, hinting at more to come in 2027. The buzz surrounding their reunion has fans speculating about the potential for new music, though Liam has previously ruled out the possibility of a new Oasis album.
The release of Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger marks a new chapter for the Gallagher brothers and serves as a reminder of the power of reconciliation, even in the face of deep-seated familial conflict.
As fans continue to celebrate the brothers' reunion, the film promises to provide a closer look at their relationship, capturing both the highs and lows that have defined their time together. The world awaits the documentary's release, eager to witness the story of two brothers who have navigated the tumultuous waters of fame, family, and forgiveness.
