Disney has come under fire from fans over what some say is an underwhelming trailer for a documentary about UK rock band Oasis.
The documentary chronicles the rise of the famous group and their blockbuster Live ’25 comeback tour. The band, led by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, broke up after a fight at a festival near Paris kicked off a years-long feud.
Disney executives must have been hoping for a rousing round of applause when the studio dropped the official trailer for the upcoming feature film “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger.” The documentary, celebrating the Gallagher brothers’ historic comeback, is scheduled for an IMAX theatrical release on September 11 before arriving exclusively on Disney+ later this year.
Rather than leaning into the electrifying, sold-out energy of the tour, the promo opens with tense snippets from Liam and Noel’s infamous past feuds.
It also features shadowy rehearsal footage of the group and voiceovers highlighting the rivalry between the brothers. At one point, an audio clip captures Noel asking whether the tour will “fall apart again.” Another features him saying he simply couldn’t see himself getting back onstage with Liam.
Fans Think Disney Released The ‘Wrong Cut’
However, the trailer ignited an immediate fan backlash, with many internet users calling out an apparent lack of attention to detail.
“I think… someone posted the wrong cut version haha,” a fan wrote, while another asked, “Why’d it cut off like that? Did Disney pull a Sopranos?” One other user wrote, “I think you missed a bit at the end lads.”
However, others expressed their excitement about the film, with some recounting their experience attending the concert live. “I was fortunate enough to be at opening night in Cardiff, Wales, on July 4, 2025, with my brother, and it was an experience I’ll never forget,” a fan explained. “Cardiff basically belonged to Oasis that day.
Hours before the show, the bars were packed, Oasis songs were being sung everywhere, people were decked out in Adidas and Oasis gear, beers were flowing, and the entire city had this incredible energy. You could feel that something special was happening.”
Liam Gallagher Rules Out An Oasis Return In 2026
The Oasis Live ’25 tour was considered one of the most anticipated musical reunions after 16 years apart.
The tour saw the rockers perform for more than four months across Europe, North America, Asia, Australia, and South America before wrapping up their blockbuster comeback run.
At the time, the group confirmed that they wouldn’t be doing anything again until 2027, saying they were taking a “pause” to reflect on the huge success of their reunion tour, per NME.
Several fans asked Liam whether the band would be hitting the road again this year, but he completely ruled it out. One social media user even asked him to announce dates for 2026, prompting him to reply, “We’re not doing anything in 2026, sorry.”
So far this year, the group has not performed live, increasingly leaving fans eager for an update. While discussing a possible return, Liam teased 2027 as a tentative date, writing, “I don’t [have] snizzle to do until 2027, I mean happy Christmas.”
How Liam And Noel Gallagher’s Feud Split Oasis
Oasis sold more than 70 million records and earned multiple entries in the Guinness World Records for achievements throughout their career.
The band enjoyed massive success and became one of the world’s biggest rock acts before things came crashing down in August 2009, when Liam and Noel had a fight ahead of the Rock en Seine festival near Paris.
Their clash led to the cancellation of the performance and ultimately caused Oasis to break up, with Noel announcing his departure in a now-deleted statement on the group’s website.
“It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight,” he wrote, per Pitchfork. “People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”
Liam And Noel Have Offered Different Takes On The Split
Over the years, several accounts of what ultimately drove Oasis apart have surfaced. Although Noel once joked that Liam “stole [his] teddy bear” in 1978, he later explained that tensions intensified when his brother tried to promote his designer clothing label to Oasis fans while the band was on tour.
“I didn’t think it was right for him to be flogging his gear to our fans,” Noel told The Hollywood Reporter in July 2011. “There was a massive fight about that.”
Liam, however, offered a different perspective during an interview with The Guardian that year. “Me and [my brother] were to blame for the split of Oasis,” the singer told the outlet. “Not me. Not him. And it certainly wasn’t these guys,” he added, referring to the remaining band members.
