Liam Gallagher feels he is ‘exorcising demons’ in Oasis documentary trailer
By Pierra Willix, Press Association Senior Entertainment Reporter
Liam Gallagher admits he feels like he is “exorcising demons” in the trailer for the Oasis documentary.
Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger follows Liam and his brother Noel Gallagher as they undertake their Live 25 tour, which kicked off a year ago in Cardiff.
The trailer, released by Disney Plus on Tuesday, starts by playing audio of news reports and the brothers speaking about their infamous feuding.
At the same time, both old and new footage of them rehearsing and performing plays.
It then shows advertisements promoting their tour – which one newsreader says in a voiceover many people thought would “never happen”.
It then cuts to Liam referencing their 2009 split: “The way it finished, unacceptable. It didn’t sit right with me, man.”
His older brother then says: “I just don’t see myself on stage with Liam. I don’t really want to be going back with the tension; will it fall apart again?”
The two-minute trailer then shows a priest giving a sermon about forgiveness, with Noel saying their long-awaited reunion is “one of the biggest moments in our lives”.
However, Liam then says: “I feel like I’m exercising demons getting it all out. Rage. Just pure anger… I need to calm the f*** down.”
A montage shows fans at their shows across the world in countries including Wales, Brazil, and Argentina.
Addressing their blow-ups, Liam then says they both said “shit they didn’t mean” in the past.
He adds: “That’s the way it is when you miss people.”
Noel then admits he “forgot” what his brother “means to people”.
“I certainly wasn’t prepared for the intense outpouring (and) the sense of what it meant to people,” he says.
He is then heard saying they have a chance to “change the narrative of the band”.
The Oasis documentary was created by Steven Knight and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace.
Set to be released in cinemas on September 9, and also on Disney Plus, the streaming service has teased that the documentary follows the Gallaghers’ “triumphant reunion tour”.
“Oasis Live 25, one of the most anticipated rock ‘n’ roll comebacks of our time,” it says.
“The film is an unapologetically uplifting account of the biggest musical event of 2025, capturing the experience and emotions of the band and their fans across the world.
“The unique perspective includes rehearsal, backstage, and onstage access as well as the first joint interviews with Noel and Liam in over 20 years.
“Alongside the band’s sold-out world tour, the film also explores the profound emotional impact of this phenomenal global cultural moment and what their music means to audiences and generations worldwide.”
The film will have its world premiere at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival next month.
In a press conference, the festival’s artistic director Alberto Barbera previously said of the film: “The two brothers who have not spoken to each other for 12 years that dissolved one of the most famous rock bands in England at the time, but after so many years they unexpectedly reconcile and they start rehearsing for the formidable world tour that would follow.”
He added: “The film follows the rehearsals and the tour and the impact of the tour on the fans of Oasis, who again can find their idols re-proposing the songs they loved so much, years before.”
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 in France.
The band have had eight number one singles and albums each in the UK charts, with Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova and Some Might Say among their most well-known hits.
