Oasis have finally unveiled the first teaser for their highly anticipated reunion documentary, officially titled Don’t Look Back in Anger, named after one of the band’s most iconic and enduring songs, and also considered the defining anthem of the Britpop era and one of the most celebrated rock tracks in British history. Rising from Manchester, Oasis became one of Britain’s biggest rock acts, defining the Britpop movement with unforgettable anthems and the famously turbulent relationship between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher.

The documentary promises a closer look at their extraordinary journey, fractured bond, and long-awaited return, offering fans both nostalgia and fresh insight into one of music’s greatest comeback stories. From its story to its release, this is everything worth knowing before watching.

When does Don’t Look Back in Anger release in theaters?

Don’t Look Back in Anger will make its worldwide theatrical debut on September 11, 2026, arriving in select IMAX and cinema screens before heading to streaming later in the year. The release follows the first teaser trailer, which was unveiled exactly one year after Oasis launched their historic Live ’25 reunion tour in Cardiff, Wales, a symbolic date marking the band’s return to the stage after 16 years.

Rather than offering a standard concert film, the IMAX version has been crafted to recreate the atmosphere of an Oasis stadium show. Oscar-winning sound mixers James Mather (Top Gun: Maverick) and Tarn Willers (The Zone of Interest) handled the immersive audio mix, aiming to place audiences in the middle of the crowd.

The documentary is expected to receive a limited global theatrical rollout, with participating IMAX locations and ticket sales set to be announced closer to the release date.

Where will Don’t Look Back in Anger stream?

Following its exclusive theatrical run, Don’t Look Back in Anger will be available to stream later in 2026. International audiences will be able to watch the documentary on Disney+, while viewers in the United States can stream it on Hulu and Disney+, depending on regional availability. The staggered rollout gives cinemas and IMAX screens an exclusive window before the film reaches home audiences.

Presented by Disney+ and produced by Magna Studios in association with Sony Music Vision, the documentary combines backstage access, rehearsal footage, live performances, and the first joint interview between Liam and Noel Gallagher in more than two decades. Its streaming release is expected to introduce the reunion story to an even wider audience after the theatrical experience, making it accessible to both longtime Oasis fans and viewers discovering the band’s legacy for the first time.

What is Don’t Look Back in Anger about?

Unlike a traditional music biopic or career retrospective, Don’t Look Back in Anger centers on Oasis’ historic Live ’25 reunion tour, documenting the band’s long-awaited return to the stage after 16 years apart. At its heart is the reconciliation between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, whose famously fractured relationship defined the band’s split in 2009. The documentary follows their journey from estrangement to reunion through candid backstage footage, rehearsals, and preparations for their global stadium tour.

It also features the brothers’ first joint interview in more than two decades, offering an honest look at their fallout, the passage of time, and what ultimately brought them back together. Beyond the band itself, the film highlights the emotional connection between Oasis and generations of fans, capturing the energy of sold-out stadiums and exploring why their music continues to resonate. Rather than revisiting the past, it tells the story of a remarkable second chapter.

Who is behind Don’t Look Back in Anger?

Don’t Look Back in Anger brings together an experienced creative team from film, television, and music documentaries. The project is created and executive produced by Steven Knight, the acclaimed writer behind Peaky Blinders, who has described the documentary as more than a concert film, focusing instead on reconciliation, legacy, and the emotional journey of Oasis’ reunion. Directing duties are handled by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, the filmmaking duo known for acclaimed music documentaries including Shut Up and Play the Hits and Meet Me in the Bathroom.

Producing the film are Sam Bridger, whose previous work includes Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now, and Guy Heeley, an experienced producer with credits spanning major film and television projects. Completing the team are Oscar-winning sound engineers James Mather (Top Gun: Maverick) and Tarn Willers, whose immersive audio mix has been designed to recreate the atmosphere and power of an Oasis stadium concert on IMAX screens.

Why is Don’t Look Back in Anger being made?

To understand why Don’t Look Back in Anger is being made now, you have to see Oasis as more than a band; they were a cultural storm that reshaped British music. Formed in Manchester in the early 1990s, the Gallagher brothers turned working-class defiance into global anthems, with ‘Definitely Maybe’ becoming the fastest-selling debut in UK history and ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?’ defining the Britpop era. By 1996, they were playing Knebworth to 250,000 people, cementing a peak few bands ever reach.

But behind the success was a volatile sibling rivalry that escalated into public clashes, ending in a dramatic 2009 split after the Rock en Seine fallout in Paris. For 16 years, reconciliation seemed impossible, until their shock 2025 Live ’25 reunion tour redefined their legacy. The documentary now exists to capture that full cycle: rise, rupture, and redemption, culminating in their first joint interview in over two decades.

This is everything you need to know before watching Don’t Look Back in Anger, from Oasis’ rise as Britpop pioneers in the 1990s, through their record-breaking success with ‘Definitely Maybe’ and ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?’, to their explosive breakup in 2009 that ended one of rock’s most influential sibling partnerships. It reframes their story as one of legacy, time, and reconciliation, showing how cultural icons can fracture and still find their way back. More than nostalgia, it is a front-row seat to history unfolding again in real time.
