Noel Gallagher has admitted the Oasis Live ’25 Tour was “better than” anything they did in the ’90s.
Speaking backstage at the BRIT Awards in Manchester on Saturday night (28.02.26) after collecting the Songwriter of the Year Award, he hailed the Britpop legends’ reunion as “the most incredible thing that any of us have ever done. “
The 58-year-old guitarist continued: “To come back after all these years, to get number one albums and all that is pretty mad, but we loved every minute and every second of it.”
Noel added: “The gigs were amazing, particularly the ones in Manchester, and I’m kind of lost for words for it, really. The gigs spoke for themselves.”
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is producing an Oasis Live ’25 Tour documentary, with renowned filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace on board to direct – the duo behind LCD Soundsystem’s concert film Shut Up And Play The Hits.
Cameras rolled throughout rehearsals and pre-tour meetings, giving fans the ultimate fly-on-the-wall look at the reunion.
He’s only watched fragments of the cut so far, yet Noel is convinced it’s going to be “astonishing.”
He said: “I’ve only seen a tiny little bit of it, and it’s difficult to have an opinion on it because I’m only looking at little snippets.
“Everyone who has seen it, or seen more of it than I have, has said that it’s amazing. If it even captures five per cent of what that tour was, it’ll be astonishing. Looking forward to it.”
Fans were asked to send in their special memories associated with the Live Forever hitmakers’ songs for potential inclusion in the film.
A post on the oasis-film.com website read: “Now, in the year of Oasis’ sell-out reunion tour, Magna Studios and Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, A Thousand Blows) – in association with Oasis – are making a film exploring how this band’s music has become so important to so many.
“We are asking people all over the world if there is a particular Oasis song that has deep meaning for you. A song that tells the story of a life-changing moment, a love, a loss, a heartbreak, or a break for freedom.
“Whatever the Oasis song, whatever the story – tell us…”
Oasis’ UK and Ireland shows – their first in 16 years – kicked off in Cardiff on July 4 and saw them joined by special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast.
The Supersonic hitmakers also played dates in the USA, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil.
The Oasis reunion marked the first time the band performed together since 2009, when they split after a backstage altercation between siblings Liam and Noel Gallagher at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
