One Of The Biggest Moments Of Our Lives, Right?

It was one of the biggest moments of our lives, right? So says Noel at some point in the upcoming Oasis documentary 'Don't Look Back In Anger', a fly-on-the-wall insight into what the band's reunion was really like. It still doesn't feel real, and yet today's two minute, sixteen second trailer is enough to take you right back to 2025. 

Oasis have always been both guarded, private and secretive and at the same time, unapologetically unfiltered and open. It will be fascinating to finally see what went on behind the curtain as they prepared to get back on stage together considering how miniscule the access has been to the band for the last two years. The teaser trailer that came out for the film revealed little beyond the apprehension we knew Noel took into those first gigs in Cardiff. This time round, we've been given a greater sense of what's to come in this forthcoming documentary, a new instalment to the Oasis story after ‘Supersonic’, then ‘Oasis Knebworth 1996’ introduced the band to a new generation of young fans a decade ago. We see Liam and Noel in the rehearsal room, shots of a Manchester vicar talking about forgiveness, and a number of incredible shots of fans weeping, singing, and cradling each other in the joy of those indescribable gigs. A creatively edited soundtrack of Supersonic's scraping guitar intro and Champagne Supernova's accordion bed create an eerie soundtrack.   

Visually, it's all made for the big screen so it's an absolute must to watch this at the cinema in a few weeks. Tickets for a lot of cinemas are on sale this week, so now's your chance! It's encouraging to see that stylistically, the amazing videos we saw last year on the band's social accounts have been reflected in the tone of the shots of the gigs. We see glimpses of that amazing juxtaposition of movement against the band's stillness, of the darkness of these huge stadium gigs offset against the colour of the fans from around the world jumping backwards in unison to Cigarettes & Alcohol. 

There's not much more to say until we see the whole thing in lights, but as a fan, I couldn't be more excited to see how it all played out. We went from near certainty that the band would never come back, to seeing them on stage together again in what felt like a matter of months. Added to the fact we got to go another round with them, is the feeling that this time it meant more, to the band, and to us. It will be amazing to witness Bonehead's role in bringing Noel and Liam together, and to celebrate his understated but utterly vital position in that band. Seeing him in the middle of the stage; the anchor of it all, was a special moment for everyone who has loved the band for so many years. 

The film will be a celebration of one of the biggest moments of our lives as Oasis fans. I'm almost too excited to write about it! We all hope there's more, but whatever happens, we had Oasis Live 25 and that summer, and the moments in this film will live forever with all of us.
