\n\tOasis<\/a> mania hit Venice Film Festival on Saturday night as Liam and Noel Gallagher<\/a> presented the world premiere of their highly anticipated documentary \u201cDon\u2019t Look Back in Anger.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rock doc received an eight-minute standing ovation as the once-estranged brothers held hands and raised them triumphantly. The atmosphere in the Palazzo del Cinema was electric, with fans clamoring to get a photo, autograph or just a look at the iconic musicians. Before the screening, the brothers were greeted with cheers of \u201cC\u2019mon, boys!\u201d and \u201cFight!\u201d One fan even brought a Manchester City flag (their football club of choice) and flew it over the balcony.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the documentary rolled on, the rowdiness continued \u2014 attendees clapped after most of the live performances in the film and, as the audience sang along to \u201cChampagne Supernova,\u201d several were reduced to audible tears. During the actual standing ovation, the brothers \u2014 understandably new to the film festival world \u2014 looked like they had no idea what to do, with Liam eyeing his watch and mouthing, \u201cShould we fuck off?\u201d before creator Steven Knight seemingly convinced him to stay. But all hell broke loose when the Gallaghers descended into the crowd to sign autographs, turning the theater into a mild mosh pit as fans jockeyed for a selfie or signature. One thing\u2019s for sure, this is likely to be the closest Venice Film Festival gets to a rock concert.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier on the red carpet, Italian fans donned their best bucket hats and band merch, singing along to \u201cAcquiesece\u201d and \u201cWonderwall\u201d as they waited for Liam and Noel to arrive. Ever the rock \u2018n\u2019 roll stars, when they finally did, it was through the cinema\u2019s entrance instead of from a car at the start of the carpet, causing screams to erupt. The Gallaghers, known for their love of windbreakers and Fred Perry polos, dressed smartly for the occasion in all black (though still decidedly unfancy, with Liam layering a T-shirt underneath a blazer and Noel wearing a zip-up jacket). Fans chanted \u201cOasis! Oasis! Oasis!\u201d as the brothers signed autographs separately, before coming together to pose for photos \u2014 even holding hands and raising them up victoriously for one shot.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, the documentary \u201ccharts Liam and Noel Gallagher\u2019s triumphant reunion tour, Oasis Live \u201825, one of the most anticipated rock \u2018n\u2019 roll comebacks of our time,\u201d according to its official synopsis. The film, which premieres in theaters Sept. 11 before bowing on Disney+<\/a> later this year, boasts footage of the band both backstage and onstage as well as the first joint interview with often-feuding brothers Noel and Liam in over 20 years. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Oasis reunion tour last year marked the first time the Gallagher brothers had played together since 2009. Tickets for the tour sold out immediately and it went on to generate hundreds of millions of dollars across dates in the U.K., North America, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe success of Oasis Live \u201925 \u2014 and the fact that the brothers are still getting along well enough to do press for their documentary together \u2014 has sparked rumors of a further Oasis tour, perhaps next year. Though the Gallaghers weren\u2019t on hand at the film\u2019s press conference<\/a> earlier on Saturday to field questions, the band has posted several cryptic teasers on Instagram that have sent fans into detective mode. Adding to the speculation, Noel said in a recent interview on Talksport: \u201cLet\u2019s put it this way: there\u2019s no football tournament on next year, so we\u2019ve got to do something in the summer, right?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oasis mania hit Venice Film Festival on Saturday night as Liam and Noel Gallagher presented the world premiere…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":674552,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[263],"tags":[1887,18,117,19,17,1006,327,1005,1004],"class_list":["post-674551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-disney","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-liam-gallagher","tag-movies","tag-noel-gallagher","tag-oasis"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117220996960526576","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
