The Gallagher brothers have made a highly anticipated appearance at the London premiere of their new documentary Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger.
Liam and Noel strutted onto the black carpet together this evening in Leicester Square in front of dozens of screaming fans.
The pair posed for photos together, with Liam hiding behind a pair of sunglasses and embracing his signature style in a navy parka with matching dark blue jeans, while Noel opted for a casual ensemble with a brown jacket, a blue shirt and jeans.
Liam could be seen amping up the crowd by gesturing his fist enthusiastically in classic showman fashion while Noel, typically more reserved of the two, watched on and smiled.
The documentary, written by Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight, has been described as “emotional” and “incredibly candid” by critics.
The project is part concert film and part documentary, and follows the band on their reunion tour that began in Cardiff in July last year.

It features the first joint interviews with Noel and Liam in more than 20 years following their 2009 split, which director Will Lovelace said was “surprising” while speaking at the premiere for the upcoming film.
“We did an interview with them towards the end of the film, and they were incredibly candid and that surprised us,” Lovelace said.
“I think how emotional they were, how candid they were in that interview… But they’re who you hope they’d be as well.
“They’re still Liam and Noel.”
Film director Lovelace also reflected on the relationship between the previously estranged brothers, and said: “They’d been apart for a long time.
“That rehearsal section that started off last year was really important to capture – it was the first time they’d been in a room together.

“By the end of that, we still didn’t really know exactly how that relationship was going to play out over the next few months.”

Co-director Dylan Southern said that the pair “weren’t quite sure” where Liam and Noel stood with each other by the end of rehearsals.
“But as soon as they started playing (on tour), the crowd played such an integral part in their reconciliation.
“It’d be hard to stand on stage receiving that much love and having that much of an amazing experience and not having that bring you closer together.”

Lovelace added: “When you saw them go on stage in Cardiff, I think that was the moment where you realised the crowd and their feelings were going to play a big part.”
Southern and Lovelace looked sharp in matching black suits and white shirts, and were joined at the Leicester Square premiere on Monday by award-winning writer and filmmaker Knight.
The Britpop band were joined at the star-studded affair this evening by the likes of Premier League footballer Jack Grealish, comedian Roisin Conaty and new Strictly Come Dancing host Josh Widdicombe.

Others in attendance include three of Liam’s four children Molly, Lennon and Gene, who smiled as they posed for photos with their cousins – Noel’s children Sonny, Donovan and Anais.
The event comes amid several cryptic posts to social media by Oasis, which fans have claimed are hints at tour locations such as Celtic Park and Knebworth.
Rumours of a follow-up to the band’s 2025 reunion tour have been rife in recent weeks, but no dates or venues have been formally announced.

Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger will be released in cinemas on September 9 and will also stream on Disney+.
The band have had eight UK number one singles and eight UK number one albums, with Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Roll With It among their best-known hits.
