Reports have been swirling that Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher could see their highly-anticipated musical reunion brought to the screen via documentary. Now, a date for the release of the documentary is being speculated.
Oasis documentary could release in March next year
The UK’s Sun newspaper had reported that Apple TV+ bosses are eager to film the previously warring brothers who have put their 15-year animosity to bed for a string of record-breaking gigs in the UK next summer.
A documentary about Oasis would follow in the footsteps of Apple’s award-winning documentary Get Back, about the making of the Beatles’ 1970 Let It Be.
The Sun quoted an insider revealing that Apple faces competition from both Amazon Prime and Netflix, but remains determined to bag the brothers’ behind-the-scenes antics in the lead-up to the concerts: “This is set to be the film of the decade, with AppleTV+ proposing huge money.”
Oasis has returned to the top of the UK music charts since announcing the concerts. The band has not performed together since 2009, when a backstage row between the Gallagher brothers saw songwriter Noel quit the band. They have scheduled several gigs next year across the UK and Ireland, beginning in Cardiff in July.
Tickets were in such demand that many fans were left disappointed or paying hundreds of dollars more than anticipated, due to “dynamic pricing” on the sales websites, and a government watchdog is currently investigating the ticket sales process.
They previously put out two live albums – Familiar To Millions, released in 2000, sold more than a million copies, and Knebworth 1996 – capturing their live shows in the UK – which was released five years later in 2021.
