For a 16-year hiatus, Oasis reunites to headline the Live '25 world tour, a series of gigs long anticipated by fans. Accompanying the tour is the making of a concert film to chronicle the group's stage comeback.

Peaky Blinders scribe Steven Knight has been recruited as a producer on the show; bringing a unique perspective to the project. This collaboration has fueled speculation regarding what the film will feature and how it will be presented.

With documentary filmmaking team Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace at the helm; the film should be more than just standard concert material. Their previous work, including the Blur: No Distance Left to Run documentary, suggests a balance of live shows and off-stage action.

Steven Knight's input introduces a narrative style into the film

Steven Knight's position as a producer means that the Oasis reunion movie could go about things differently than a conventional concert documentary. Most famous for Peaky Blinders, Knight has a background in crafting narratives centered around intricate relationships, and this could impact how the story of the band is presented.

Although specifics regarding the structure of the film are still unknown, his involvement implies that it will delve into subjects other than the performances themselves. Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, who have worked on several music documentaries, such as Shut Up and Play the Hits; which chronicled the last show of LCD Soundsystem before their brief hiatus, will likely make use of archival clips, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage; in addition to concert footage, in the Oasis film. The mix may give viewers a better understanding of the band's reunion, instead of concentrating on the live shows.

The tour itinerary indicates in-depth coverage of Oasis's comeback on-stage

The Live '25 tour will kick off on July 4, 2025, in Cardiff and will comprise 41 performances across various venues before wrapping up in São Paulo on November 23. With so many performances and the fact that the tour involves international locations; the movie promises to cover various angles of the band's comeback, perhaps using clips from several concerts instead of one event.

The reunion tour will feature shows at top venues, including a multiple-night stand at Knebworth Park; the location of the band's historic 1996 concerts. The movie can focus on the way the band goes about performing in these familiar places again after so long.

Secondly, since there is such an intricate history between the Gallagher brothers, there has been speculation the documentary could address their dynamic and how it changed over the years.

The documentary can provide an insight into the band's creative process and personal thoughts

Although the film is largely centered around the reunion tour, it might also give us a glimpse into the creative and logistical effort involved in the performances. Rehearsals, band member interactions, and personal insights could all be included.

With Oasis's history of very public arguments, fans might especially be interested in seeing how the band members get along behind the scenes after so long apart. As Southern and Lovelace's past documentaries have included personal reflections from the artists they are covering; there is a chance that the Oasis film will feature interviews or statements from the band members.

Whether this leads to a closer examination of their reunion or stays centered on the music itself is to be determined.

The Oasis reunion movie will be more than just a direct concert recording. Produced by Steven Knight and directed by Southern and Lovelace; the venture could provide a combination of live sets and inside stories.

Though formal information remains scant, the way the movie tackles the approach can combine music with an exploration of the relationships and artistic development of the band. Viewers will have to wait for more announcements regarding how much of Oasis's history will be delved into on-screen.
