Don't Look Back In Anger

Fans of British rock band Oasis gathered in Venice on Saturday ahead of the premiere of a behind-the-scenes film about the group's reunion tour, with the Gallagher brothers set to walk the red carpet. Die-hard followers reserved places in front of the main Venice Film Festival hall in the morning, prepared to wait all day in hot and humid conditions ahead of the premiere.

The Disney film "Don't Look Back in Anger" captures the reconciliation of Noel and Liam Gallagher after 15 years of not talking to each other following an infamous bust-up in Paris in 2009. Their reunion led to the 2025 world tour, seeing an outpouring of nostalgia and support for Oasis, a pioneer of "Britpop" in the 1990s and one of the biggest rock bands of the past 30 years.

Big-screen tours

The film was made by British music documentary makers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace along with Steven Knight, the man behind the "Peaky Blinders" TV show who is also writing the script for the next James Bond movie. "Don't Look Back in Anger" is part of a trend of major artists releasing tightly controlled big-screen films about their tours. Taylor Swift's film about her Eras Tour in 2023 grossed an estimated $260 million worldwide, while Beyonce also released a movie the same year, raking in $44 million.
