Noel Gallagher calls Oasis’ Don’t Look Back in Anger documentary overpriced

September 8, 2026

Noel Gallagher has hinted that the Oasis documentary Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger carried a “expensive” price tag to produce.

The 59-year-old rocker delivered his trademark dry quip on the black carpet at the UK premiere of Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, the emotional documentary that chronicles his reunion with brother Liam, now 53, last year.

Cornered by Radio X at London’s Leicester Square on Monday (07.09.26) and asked to sum up the entire film in a single word, Noel didn’t miss a beat.

He deadpanned: “Expensive.”

The Oasis Live ’25 tour grossed a staggering $405.4 million — and the new film looks set to push the Gallagher money machine into overdrive once again.

Elsewhere, filmmakers Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern opened up about the magic behind Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger.

The directing duo steered the behind‑the‑scenes project that follows Noel and Liam Gallagher’s sensational 2025 reunion tour, including capturing the moment they appeared in the same room together for the first time in 15 years.

Speaking to HeyUGuys at the premiere, Dylan said: “You enter into a film thinking you’re gonna make one film. Especially with documentaries, you can have a plan but you have to be prepared to throw it out of the window.”

“With this one, it was about kinda like adapting to each circumstance. So, filming the rehearsals, we needed to be as invisible as we could and not got in the way because it genuinely was the first time they’d been in a room together for 15 years.”

Dylan admitted it was an entirely different challenge once the band hit the road on their Oasis Live ’25 tour.

He added: “And then going out on tour, it was all about how do we make the most immersive cinematic concert experience but still tell that intimate story of two brothers.”

The Gallaghers received an eight‑minute standing ovation for the film — which has been produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight — during its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
