Noel Gallagher shares word he “never would have thought” to describe Liam after Oasis reunion and new documentary

By Laura MolloyNME Music News

"The music brought us together" The post Noel Gallagher shares word he “never would have thought” to describe Liam after Oasis reunion and new documentary appeared first on NME.

Noel Gallagher is praising his brother, Liam, amid the release of their new documentary Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger.

The film centres on the brothers’ 2024 reunion and huge ‘Live ‘25’ tour dates. Produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace (Meet Me In The Bathroom),

It debuted yesterday (September 5) at the Venice Film Festival under the ‘Out of Competition – Non Fiction’ category, with the brothers attending the premiere and making their first off-stage appearance together in public since disbanding in 2009.

Now, Noel has offered some kind words about his brother, describing him as “delightful” – a word he conceded he “never would have thought” he’d say about him.

Sharing an insight into their reconciliation, he said: “All the little things that used to annoy us about each other have gone away. We have come out of it now as equals,” per Daily Mail.

He added: “We get along now, we text like normal people. The music brought us together.”

NME gave Don’t Look Back in Anger four-and-a-half stars, in a review which called the documentary “masterfully done”.

“The impact of the band has never been clearer than over these two hours – as Liam puts it in the final moments, “Oasis saves” – as it reclaims the narrative around them and relives one of the most momentous, miraculous tours of modern times. By the end, you’ll be itching to do it all over again – and maybe, just maybe, we might,” we wrote.

The documentary will be released into cinemas, including IMAX screens, worldwide for a limited theatrical run from September 9, while it will stream on Disney+ around the world, and on Disney+ alongside Hulu in the US, from a later date in 2026.

Meanwhile, the UK premiere will take place on September 7 at Cineworld Leicester Square in London.

Elsewhere, Oasis are reportedly planning a huge 2027 UK and Europe tour – including a rumoured show at Knebworth and a huge 12-night Manchester residency at the Etihad Stadium.

Rumours surrounding a return to Knebworth gained pace when the promoter of the ‘Live ‘25’ tour was granted a licence to host gigs there last month, while Noel himself hinted at the possibility, saying that “we’ve got to do something in the summer” as there isn’t a men’s football tournament happening.

Oasis have also shared a few cryptic videos, with fans speculating they are hinting at shows in Glasgow and Manchester.
