Liam and Noel Gallagher missed the press conference for their upcoming documentary "Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger" at the Venice Film Festival.
On September 5, 2026, Variety reported that brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher did not attend the press conference for their upcoming documentary, "Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger," at the Venice Film Festival. The documentary is set to premiere on Disney+ and features footage of the band, both onstage and backstage.
The duo, who have historically had a tumultuous relationship, recently reunited for their significant "Live ’25" tour after a lengthy 15-year feud. They arrived in Venice by boat and participated in a photocall before the press conference but left prior to the event's start. This practice of skipping press events is familiar for the Gallaghers, as they have limited joint public appearances since their reunion.
Co-director Will Lovelace addressed the brothers’ absence during the press conference, noting they had been present for photographs shortly before but did not elaborate on why they skipped the session. Requests for comments from representatives of both Oasis and Disney have gone unanswered.
"Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger" aims to capture the dynamics between Liam and Noel Gallagher, showcasing their complex relationship over the years. Co-directors Southern and Lovelace emphasized the importance of an unobtrusive filming approach, focusing on capturing genuine moments, especially as this marks their first reunion in such a prolonged format in over a decade.
While the film promises an authentic portrayal of the brothers, it is expected to maintain the characteristic edginess of their personalities, avoiding overly sentimental moments.
Although Liam and Noel Gallagher's joint appearance at the press conference was skipped, their recent interactions with the media have fueled rumors of a potential new tour. The brothers sparked speculation with cryptic social media posts leading up to the event. In a separate interview, Noel hinted at a possible tour in 2027, referencing the absence of a major football tournament that summer. However, no official announcements regarding tour plans have been made.
As fans await the documentary's release, the missed press conference has raised questions about the future of Oasis and whether the brothers will navigate the media landscape together again.
The absence of Liam and Noel Gallagher from the Venice Film Festival press conference highlights their ongoing complexities as public figures and as a band. This situation may impact fans' perceptions and expectations regarding the upcoming documentary, its content, and any potential future collaborations between the two.
The documentary’s world premiere on the evening of September 5 will be followed by a theatrical release on September 11 before becoming available on Disney+. As the audience anticipates its arrival, the Gallaghers' latest actions may signal broader implications for their comeback and public engagement in the coming years.
