Oasis: 'Don't Look Back In Anger' Arrives on Disney+ With Previously Unseen Footage

For anybody who missed Oasis on the big screen last month, there's some good news. 'Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger', the documentary following Liam and Noel Gallagher's extraordinary reunion, is now available to stream on Disney+.

The film arrived on Friday 9 October, just a month after its cinema release, which saw it become the highest-grossing documentary of 2026 at the UK and Ireland box office. It has also become the fourth highest-grossing documentary of all time in those territories. Considering the demand that surrounded almost everything Oasis did last year, perhaps that shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

There is also something for those of us who have already watched the film. Disney+ has released additional interviews with the Gallagher brothers and four complete live performances, including two songs that were absent from the original documentary.

Created by Steven Knight, the man behind 'Peaky Blinders', and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, 'Don't Look Back in Anger' follows Oasis from their early rehearsals to the final concerts of Live '25. Across 41 shows, five continents and sixteen years of unresolved history, the filmmakers had plenty to work with.

What Previously Unseen Footage Is Available on Disney+?

The Disney+ release features additional material from Liam and Noel Gallagher's first joint interviews in more than twenty years, alongside complete performances of 'Wonderwall', 'Slide Away', 'D'You Know What I Mean?' and 'Half the World Away'.

The final two performances are being made available as exclusive extras, having been left out of the original film. Both songs featured throughout Live '25, so they're not previously unheard performances in the traditional sense, but it's good to finally have professionally filmed versions available to watch.

I've always had a particular affection for 'D'You Know What I Mean?'. The opening track from 1997's 'Be Here Now' is one of Oasis' most ambitious songs, with its enormous production, backwards guitar effects and Liam Gallagher sounding as though he's addressing everybody on the planet at once. It was fantastic hearing it performed again during Live '25, particularly with Liam singing as well as he has in years.

'Half the World Away', meanwhile, was one of the most enjoyable moments of Noel's acoustic section. The song has long since escaped its origins as a B-side to 'Whatever', becoming one of his most recognisable compositions, helped considerably by its association with 'The Royle Family'. There is something quite amusing about a song that wasn't considered important enough to make an Oasis studio album becoming one that tens of thousands of people sing together every night.

Away from the performances, I'm particularly interested in seeing what else Liam and Noel had to say during their interviews. One of the documentary's most enjoyable elements is watching the brothers become comfortable around one another again. Those first rehearsals are almost painfully awkward, with Liam and Noel barely making eye contact, never mind discussing what happened sixteen years earlier.

Gradually, however, the familiar humour returns. By the time the tour is underway, the brothers appear to have rediscovered how to enjoy each other's company, something that once seemed almost as unlikely as Oasis reforming in the first place.

What the film never really explains is how they reached that point. Was there a particular conversation that changed everything? Did they simply decide enough time had passed? Or did the circumstances of their lives finally make a reunion possible? The documentary avoids giving us a straightforward answer, and I suspect the brothers would prefer to keep it that way.

Revisiting Oasis Live '25

For anybody who didn't catch the film in cinemas, 'Don't Look Back in Anger' provides a fascinating look at what happened when Oasis finally returned to the stage.

The documentary begins with the preparations and rehearsals for the opening concerts at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, where sixteen years of speculation, arguments and increasingly improbable reunion rumours finally came to an end. Watching those early rehearsals, it's remarkable that everything came together as smoothly as it did.

Noel missed two of the six weeks of rehearsals because of a bad back, while Liam was absent from the final rehearsal before Cardiff. Considering what was at stake, they seemed remarkably relaxed about the whole thing. Then again, this is Oasis we're talking about.

Cardiff itself is wonderful to revisit. When Liam reaches across and takes his brother's hand before they walk onstage, Noel looks as though he'd rather be doing almost anything else. It's an awkward, slightly ridiculous gesture, but one that becomes increasingly natural as the tour progresses.

Noel later admits he effectively blacked out for the first forty minutes of the opening concert. You can understand why. For sixteen years, an Oasis reunion had existed somewhere between a running joke and an impossible fantasy. Suddenly, there he was playing 'Hello' with Liam again, while an entire stadium attempted to drown them out.

From there, the documentary travels to Manchester, where Oasis performed five enormous homecoming shows at Heaton Park. I was fortunate enough to attend the final night on 20 July 2025, and watching the footage brought back some wonderful memories.

Manchester felt different during those concerts. You couldn't travel through the city without seeing somebody in an Oasis shirt, and even people without tickets found ways to become part of the occasion. Thousands gathered on Gallagher Hill, outside Heaton Park, where they could hear the concerts without seeing much of what was happening onstage.

I remember leaving the final show wondering whether I'd ever see Oasis together again. Having spent most of my life knowing them as a band that no longer existed, getting to hear 'Live Forever', 'Slide Away' and 'Champagne Supernova' with Liam and Noel standing alongside one another was more than enough for me.

The film also makes room for the people who weren't standing in front of the stage. Among its most moving stories is that of a mother whose non-verbal son found a way to communicate through 'Talk Tonight'. Another fan explains how 'Don't Look Back in Anger' became attached to her experiences following the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017.

Elsewhere, we see Noel and Bonehead overwhelmed by emotion as Luke Kelly's 'The Auld Triangle' echoes around Croke Park, the extraordinary reception Oasis receive in Argentina, and a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Bonehead keeping his place onstage during his absence from the Asian concerts.

It's a wonderfully strange collection of moments, although anybody expecting the definitive explanation of why Oasis reunited may find themselves disappointed. I explored that question, the brothers' relationship and the documentary's more frustrating omissions in my full review of 'Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger', published following its cinema release in September.

From Live '25 to Live '27

Of course, Oasis haven't exactly spent the last few weeks taking things easy.

Less than a month after the documentary reached cinemas, the band announced another enormous world tour, with Live '27 taking them back to the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe and the United States. What began as an already ambitious schedule eventually expanded to 42 concerts, all of which have now sold out.

The tour begins with five nights at Glasgow's Celtic Park before Oasis return to Manchester for eleven concerts at the Etihad Stadium. Further shows across Europe and America follow, with two nights at Slane Castle and six at Knebworth bringing the tour to its conclusion.

Knebworth is perhaps the most interesting destination of the lot. When Oasis played there in August 1996, they were arguably the biggest band in Britain, with two albums behind them and a third already taking shape. More than 30 years later, they'll return to the same grounds with a catalogue that has continued to find new audiences throughout their absence.

I've written extensively about those original concerts in my 30th anniversary retrospective of Oasis at Knebworth, including the remarkable sequence of events that took the band from King Tut's Wah Wah Hut to 250,000 people in just over three years.

With the entire 2027 tour now sold out, fans who missed out will have to wait for official resale tickets to become available. You can find further information in our guide to Oasis Live '27 resale tickets.

I'm also interested to see whether the band make any changes to the setlist. Oasis performed the same 23 songs throughout Live '25, drawing heavily from 'Definitely Maybe', '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' and 'The Masterplan', alongside a handful of songs from their later records.

I thought they got the setlist almost completely right. Standing at Heaton Park, I wasn't particularly concerned about what they'd left out. However, another 42 concerts give Liam and Noel an opportunity to try something different without abandoning the songs that made the reunion so successful.

Personally, I'd love to hear 'Listen Up' and 'Columbia', two songs I've already discussed in my feature exploring which songs Oasis should play on Live '27. The latter would be particularly appropriate at Knebworth, having opened both original concerts in August 1996.

With 'Be Here Now' celebrating its thirtieth anniversary next year, perhaps there's also room for 'Don't Go Away', 'My Big Mouth' or 'I Hope, I Think, I Know'. The album has always divided opinion, but I've never thought its reputation was entirely deserved. Some of those songs would sound magnificent with the current band.

For now, however, there's the documentary to revisit. I went into the original film wondering how much we would learn about Liam and Noel's reconciliation, and came away with more questions than answers. What I hadn't expected was how enjoyable it would be to watch the brothers gradually remember what they liked about one another.

When Noel left Oasis in August 2009, I was nine years old. For most of my teenage years and early adulthood, the prospect of seeing them together seemed ridiculous. Now I've seen them at Heaton Park, watched a documentary about their reunion and have another 42 concerts to look forward to.

I spent sixteen years wondering whether Oasis would ever play together again. I'm certainly not going to complain about having too much Oasis to keep up with now.
