Documentary Announcement and Release Plan
Disney, Magna Studios and Sony Music Vision have confirmed a documentary on Oasis’s 2025 reunion tour, Oasis Live ’25. The untitled film, written and produced by BAFTA- and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Steven Knight, will open in select IMAX and cinemas worldwide on 11 September 2026, then move to Disney+ internationally and to Disney+ and Hulu in the United States. Direction is by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace.
Tour Overview and Financial Impact
After a 16-year hiatus, Noel and Liam Gallagher reunited for a world tour that began in Cardiff in July 2025 and comprised 17 sold-out shows across the UK, US, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Argentina, Brazil and other markets. The tour was billed as the biggest musical event of 2025 and ranked second in global gross revenue; each brother is estimated to have earned about £50 million (US $68 million). Ticket sales employed dynamic-pricing, prompting a UK watchdog inquiry after fans reported paying several hundred dollars above listed prices.
Official Statements
Disney’s press release calls the film a celebration of the tour’s global reach and emotional resonance. The production team says the documentary emphasizes fan experiences alongside performance footage. Disney’s Eric Schrier described the project as rare and historically significant for music cinema.
Criticism
Consumer groups have criticized the tour’s dynamic-pricing model for inflating ticket costs, leading to a UK watchdog inquiry.
