[crowd cheering] Oasis! Oasis! Oasis!

Oasis! Oasis! Oasis!

[fans shouting indistinctly]

[♪ pump-up music playing]

And like, we were really snide,

we weren't going nowhere, we was really crap.

And then we needed songs. Our kid had songs.

He's got hundreds and hundreds of songs that are just mega.

1994. This is our year, without a shadow of a doubt,

no one can touch us this year.

[Liam] All we done was got our heads down

in the rehearsal room,

asked ourselves did we wanna be

the biggest band in the world

or do we wanna go for it, and we all went, "Yeah."

[cheering]

[Letterman] Definitely Maybe is the fastest-selling

album in Britain's history.

[Liam] I'm after it all. I wanna be a star.

And we're lucky enough that it happened.

-Hoorah. -[laughing]

Know what I mean?

Anyway, can I say something now?

My name's Noel. I write all the songs.

You know, it's just one of them things.

I don't write anything, so I'm a fan of him.

Do you know what I mean? Of his music.

[Noel] Onstage, I just want him--

when he turns to me and I turn to him

and, like, we just both look at each other,

that's what it's about for us.

[reporter 1] The best band around at the moment.

[reporter 2] Their popularity likened to that of the Beatles.

[reporter 3] A quarter of a million rock fans

are counting the hours

till the Gallagher brothers take the stage.

They're temperamental, they're moody.

[interviewer] What do you think of rock 'n' roll today?

I think it's shit.

[Gary] What happened there?

[Noel] He does it all the time now.

[Gary] It's part of the show.

It goes, like, "Supersonic," "Acquiesce,"

Liam walk offstage scowling.

[Liam] Nothing to say, that's what's going on.

[reporter 4] So, why--

[reporter 5] Have you spoken to your brother, Liam?

[Noel] Nobody gets Liam.

Liam doesn't even get Liam.

[newsreader] The future of the pop group Oasis is in doubt tonight.

[reporter 6] And it's brother against brother.

[reporter 7] Noel Gallagher, the elder brother,

is flying back to Britain tonight.

[reporter 8] The brothers had a blazing row.

[reporter 9] A reported fist fight.

"You had fights? Fuck. So you've got another brother?

Hey. Are you human?"

He'd pick a fight with his own toenails.

[Liam] He wants to be the man in charge.

He wants to be the main man who's doing it.

Fuck that.

I read in interviews that he's the greatest front man

of his generation, and like, I…

It's just Liam, he's out of control.

He's got issues.

We do get quite nasty towards each other.

He pulled out this rule book of, like…

[interviewer] And once the line has been crossed…

[woman] Disgusting, honestly.

[Noel] He told me to calm down.

[Liam] That's it. I'm upset the way you fucking talk…

[♪ "The Masterplan" playing]

[fan 1, in English] Listening to Oasis for me…

it was like a superpower. It still is.

[fan 2, in Brazilian Portuguese]

[fan 3, in English] I always felt like maybe I'm the only one

in the world that goes through this sort of thing.

[fan 4] I genuinely wanna burst out

and, you know, do something about my life.

[fan 5] It was like an escape for me.

[fan 3] And then I was listening to certain lyrics

and I'm like, "You know what? This isn't just me, it's…

it's a lot of other people."

[fan 6] I think it just gave me a lifeline

and some hope,

and I needed that at that time.

[fan 7, in Korean]

[fan 1, in English] "I need to be myself,

I can't be no one else,"

like, that first line was all it took, and I…

I'm in.

[fan 8] People have to accept you for who you are,

and if they don't, fuck them.

[fan 9, in Brazilian Portuguese]

[Liam, in English] The way it finished--

unacceptable, as far as I'm concerned.

It didn't sit right with me, man.

[Dublin reporter] Now, it's 15 years

since brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher

had an almighty falling-out,

and they haven't performed together as Oasis since,

but finally, after days of fevered speculation,

they have confirmed they are reuniting

for a series of concerts,

including two in Dublin.

[commentator 1] It's, like, a big step for them,

considering for years

I don't think they could even be in the same room as each other.

[interviewer] What do you see him as?

What do I see him as?

[bleep] pain in the arse.

A pain in the arse.

[reporter, in Korean]

[Lamacq, in English] Has there been a reconciliation

between Liam and Noel?

How did that come about, and who blinked first?

[Liam] It was no big deal, you know what I mean?

He's making out as if I've stabbed one of his cats.

It's like-- It's like, leave it out, mate.

It's like, we had a little argument, you know what I mean?

[commentator 2] Everybody's wondering, are they gonna make it through a song?

Are they gonna make it through the set?

Let alone, are they gonna make it through the tour?

[reporter] A reunion years in the making.

Oasis. There's been a lot of hype around this one.

[commentator 3] And I mean, you know, these guys are so volatile,

so anything really could happen, a few punches to…

possibly to fly.

[Noel] There's been a lot of things that have been said

that are just like, "You're not gonna

be able to take that back."

And I was born with one fatal flaw in my character,

which is, I will not forgive people.

I can't do it. There's something in me that just…

I haven't got any forgiveness at all.

[reporter, in Latin American Spanish]

[Liam, in English] And that's one thing I'm not.

I'm not a yes-man, and I'm not a hired drummer or a hired guitarist.

I'm fucking Liam Gallagher, you know what I mean?

You won't talk to me like shit

and expect me to just lap it up.

[reporter] Most thought it would never happen,

and some still aren't convinced.

[crew chattering indistinctly]

[bass guitar playing]

[Noel] I get butterflies thinking about it, 'cause…

it's scary.

You know, because now you've got to live up to the fuckin'…

to the hype, you know.

-[Gem] Y'alright, Bonehead? -Yeah, man?

-Y'alright! -Nice to see you, lad.

Noel vocal.

Hey, hey, one, two, yeah.

[Noel] It's all great talking about it

saying, "We're the biggest this,

and we're the biggest that, and we're the greatest…"

"No band could sell out a world tour on the back of a photograph,"

and fuckin' "blah, blah, blah," it's like…

We've still got to do it,

still got to actually go up there and fucking do it.

Let's see how we go.

[Noel] Leading up to this,

I would genuinely close my eyes

and think, "I cannot visualize it.

I just don't see it."

I just don't see myself onstage

with Liam in a stadium.

I just don't see it.

The experience that I had in 2009

was not fucking enjoyable to me, you know.

I don't really want to be getting…

"take me there, all I know is you can take me there,

Can we just… just cut it there,

-Other people do, not me. -Okay, okay.

as a bit of a mad genius,

but he's not quite grasped the genius bit yet.

[interviewer] You never hang out with your brother?

No, I see enough of the cunt. I'm on tour with him.

And I must have just listened

to that album and that cassette

over and over and over again.

Until all the tape was coming out

and you had to wind it back in with a pencil.

[fan 3] Every single time I hear it start,

it takes me right back to being 17.

Just on the edge of adulthood,

freedom of what my life would become.

That's a kind of magic

I don't think people get often.

[fan 4] One day, he asked me to put on "Talk Tonight."

I'm like, "Why do you want that on?"

And he says, "That's my favorite song."

Mummy, can I have… [speaks indistinctly] shorts?

[fan 4] Look this way.

[fan 5] No more laughing.

Just a smile.

A little smile. Smile.

[fan 4] They told me he couldn't remember.

They told me he didn't know what was going on. You know?

It was a shock.

And that was in his head,

hearing that wee song, "Talk Tonight." You know?

[♪ "Talk Tonight" playing]

I don't want to cry.

Do you know what I mean?

Your child can't talk, they're nonverbal and they're hearing a wee song,

"Talk Tonight," and that's all they want to do, is talk.

[♪ "Talk Tonight" continues]

[Noel] ♪ I wanna talk tonight ♪

♪ Until the morning light ♪

♪ 'Bout how you Saved my life ♪

[pastor] The date is

Friday the 11th of July 2025.

I was on the bus back home from my parents' in Moston.

I looked out and there they were.

[♪ ethereal music plays]

[pastor] Crowds of people, hundreds of them,

walking with purpose.

Bucket hats on their heads,

parka jackets on their back.

It looked and felt a bit like a pilgrimage.

And when you see men, women, teenagers, arm in arm,

some literally singing into each other's eyes,

it speaks to something deeper.

A shared longing for healing.

[news anchor] Fans without tickets for tonight's Oasis show

are being advised to stay away from Heaton Park.

Huge crowds attended the weekend concerts,

but large groups of fans gathered on a nearby hill

hoping to catch a glimpse of the performances

without a ticket.

♪ Manchester Na, na, na, Manchester ♪

This is a celebration of the people coming together,

and this park is owned by the Manchester people.

Oasis… God love them, I love them,

paid for a certain section of that park.

The rest of it is open to us, Manchester residents,

and we're coming in the park whether you like it or not.

All right? As you were.

[street preacher] You think you will be fulfilled,

but when you come back from this concert

you will be empty again.

[fan] Watch your fucking balls on there.

Oh, I know.

Watch your balls! Watch your balls!

-Jesus Christ… is all. -[bystander] Yes!

Yes!

[Noel] There's nothing like Manchester.

It's got its own thing.

[stammers] It's like an island.

[fan] Celebrate your culture,

and if the worst thing that comes out of this, right,

is a load of kids pick up a guitar and start a band,

-I'm all for it. -[fans clamoring]

I'm all for it.

I'm all for it.

Pick up a guitar and not a knife.

That's me lasting message.

-[chanting] Oasis! -[clamoring continues]

[Noel] Oasis couldn't have come from anywhere else.

And if we did come from anywhere else, we'd be shit.

Imagine if I'd have had a West Country accent,

and I was saying, "We're gon' be biggest band in the world."

It's not gonna fucking work, mate.

So we are absolutely a product of Manchester.

Hello and good evening to Manchester.

[Noel] There's lots of bands who represent the council estates.

But one band came along

that behaved like them,

talked like them,

drank like them,

did the same drugs as them,

wore the same casual wear,

went to football,

and, here's the fucking difficult bit…

the fucking tunes were great as well.

Things were…

Things were easier then, life was a lot simpler.

[pastor] And that's where today's gospel lands.

Peter asks Jesus,

"Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother

if he sins against me?"

Seven times?

And Jesus replies, "Not seven,

but seventy times seven."

In other words, forgive endlessly.

The crowd at Heaton Park

didn't just show up for the music,

they came for the reconciliation

between Noel and Liam

two brothers, long estranged,

now sharing the same stage.

[crowd cheering]

[Liam] Right then, so I've been hearing

there's loads of people over there

behind some hill or summat.

[all cheering]

Yeah, I wanna dedicate this tune to them.

Yeah.

Right, so if you lot are listening on the fucking hill…

[Noel] "Some Might Say"

is one of the most Irish songs of all time.

You know. It's… [stammers]

…the tune itself is full of hope,

but when you look, the words are

kind of like, fuckin' hell.

The song's full of melancholy.

You know, and it's kind of the Irish thing.

You know, they're the only race in the world

that can fight,

laugh, drink, smoke and eat, all at the same time.

[Noel] I was moved to tears backstage before.

Both me and Bonehead, actually.

When we came out to the Luke Kelly song.

But I know we are only a band, really,

in the scheme of things, but…

I know we're an important band, I do know that.

But… you can only do what you do, you know what I mean?

We're not fucking superheroes. We're just vessels.

You can't fucking cure cancer.

All we can do is do our jobs.

And let the music then be the power for the fucking superhero.

Hopefully it'll wash away some crap

or it'll ignite something, you know what I mean?

But if you think you can do anything more

than being just in the band,

[song continues]

[Noel] Mani was genuinely happy for everybody's success.

He fucking loved Oasis.

On the eve of the tour, he was like,

"You guys are gonna fucking smash it."

He was a great mate and a funny fucker.

And, yeah, we're gonna miss him.

[Liam] It's very sad, man.

Very sad.

[song ends]

[Liam] But it's life, innit? You know what I mean?

This is why everything's fucking precious.

-[crowd cheering] -[feedback squealing]

The penny has dropped.

No more bullshit anymore.

[bell tolling]

[bell tolling continues]

[reporter] A number of people have died and others have been injured

in a reported explosion at Manchester Arena

during a pop concert…

[reporter 2] …at about quarter to 11:00 this evening,

at the end of an Ariana Grande concert.

[explosion]

[survivor] It almost felt like when you jump into a pool

and water goes in your ears.

I think 'cause I was in so much shock,

my body didn't register the pain.

When all of the nurses and doctors were waiting for me

at the front of the hospital

and, like, whizzed me in, I thought, "This is serious."

[people clamoring]

[survivor] Something that I really struggled with

was survivor's guilt.

Like, the people who had been injured

and the people who had sadly passed away

and lost their lives.

I felt a lot of guilt about that.

I saw the vigil and all the flowers being laid

and I wanted to go pay my respect

to the people who wasn't as lucky as I was.

[singing] ♪ You ain't ever Gonna burn my heart out ♪

♪ And so, Sally can wait ♪

♪ She knows it's too late ♪

[survivor] The lyrics of the song I think reflect

what the people of Manchester want to embody.

You have to take that mindset of not looking back in anger.

[singing] ♪ But don't look Back in anger ♪

♪ I heard you say ♪

[survivor] Yeah, my life might have changed,

but it shouldn't just be something

that I'm angry for for the rest of my life.

It was… I've never heard it live before.

It was really surreal to hear that in Wembley.

Um, and I think it felt a bit out-of-body.

Like, it felt so moving and like everyone was together.

[Noel] If this is your first time seeing Oasis…

[crowd cheering]

…yeah…

and you've ever wondered what it would be like

to sing this next song with a load of other Oasis fans,

you're about to fucking find out.

and singing, you know.

They're his songs, you know what I mean?

They've come from his soul.

So, I'm glad to see him on stage…

watching that reaction from his fans

because he deserves it and the songs deserve it.

[Noel] When my kids met his kids, they didn't know each other.

They'd never met.

Donovan and Sonny had never met Gene and Lennon.

And lo and behold, they're fucking best friends now.

[Liam] They're all fucking loving it.

They're all fucking off their heads every night, man.

Fucking spangled every night,

and I'm there, "Yeah, was it good, was it?"

"Oh, yeah. It was fucking… It was fucking…"

I'm like that, I'm like,

"See you later. I'm off for a bath."

[song ends]

Thank you!

I still can't really get my head around it,

if I'm being honest,

because the Oasis thing never really went away,

but I didn't think it'd be this enormous.

I didn't think we'd be looking at all of these stadiums

all over the world.

You know, you were right underneath it.

It was just like a huge waterfall

of this fucking thing.

Watching 90,000 people having this

fucking religious experience.

[Noel] It's quite an emotional kind of, "fucking hell," we did--

[Liam] It's fucking heavy shit, man, when you think about it like that.

And-And after all the bullshit that they've gone… that this band…

This band would fucking put you in a nuthouse.

Do you know what I mean? All that, you know…

For them to keep the faith that long, you know what I mean?

I'd have been like that, "Fuck off."

"Stick your songs up your fucking arse, you shower…"

[laughing] "You shower of cunts.

Doing our heads in for 30 fucking years."

You know what I mean?

[♪ emotional music playing]

The love for it has been amazing.

The energy, every second is fucking mind blowing.

[Noel] Most of the press have never really understood

what Oasis was.

I don't half the fucking time.

I don't know what it is, but I know what it isn't.

You know, it's not… It's not some fucking right-wing thing.

-Do you know what I mean? -Is it fuck.

It's like, all are welcome.

You know, all are fucking welcome.

It's about the "we" and "us."

You know, "We will find a brighter day," you know.

You know, uh, "You could spend a lifetime

to spend your day in the sunshine."

Do you know what I mean? It's about… It's about us.

[no audible dialogue]

For me, some of them are very aggressive.

-[laughs] -[chuckles] And I don't…

And I don't know why.

I've tried to sing them fucking quietly and nice and chilled, but it's fucking…

I just laugh at myself.

[Noel] When we finished the British leg,

we were all saying,

"That's been amazing.

America might be a bit lukewarm."

[crowd cheering]

We've finally fucking woke America up.

[cheering]

They tried to keep us apart but look at us now.

America-Oasis, the new hot couple, yeah?

[cheers]

[Noel] You know, I'm looking out on stage every night

to a sea of people who are under 30.

There's this outpouring,

and they're singing these songs, crying their eyes out

and it's like, fucking…

It wasn't like this in the '90s.

And… I don't know. It's a… It's a…

It's a fascinating thing.

It turns out that Oasis generation

took the music to their hearts

and gave it to their children.

The gigs were great because we made them great.

Us and the crowd.

You know, what you're playing is moving these people

to tears.

And in return, it's moving you to tears.

I turned my back on the audience quite a lot on this tour

because there's been, you know…

You see like fathers and sons.

That gets me all the time.

You never get the chance to change the narrative.

The narrative of the band was, "Great. Chaos. Great…"

You know, "Always some fucking shit happening."

Now, the story of the band is,

-"Fucking great. Chaos." -Exactly.

"But fucking hell when they came back."

Exactly.

[Noel] You know, this tour fixed a lot of things.

[crowd cheering]

Right then, beautiful people, this is it.

This is it.

I wanna thank a few people, man, so give us a minute.

I obviously wanna thank our kid.

Bonehead.

Andy, Gem.

Joey, Christian.

But most of all, I wanna thank fucking you lot, man,

for putting this band back on the map.

We love you.

Thanks for all your energy.

And thank you for sticking with us over the years.

"Champagne Supernova." Nice one for coming out.

[song ends]

[Noel] All the little things

that used to annoy us about each other

are suddenly all gone away, you know.

They're all gone away.

To bring it back to life, you know, and to enjoy it.

And it's not a power struggle anymore.

You know, we… we come at it now as equals.

[Liam] See you later. Take care of yourselves.

Fucking love yous, man.

It feels like a weight's been lifted.

We all said shit that we didn't fucking…

And even as it was coming out of our mouth,

we never fucking meant half of this shit.

You know what I mean?

But that… that's the way it is,

you know what I mean? When you…

You know, when you miss people.

[Noel] We never used to hang out.

We never used to text each other about the shit that you'd see on the TV.

But now we are texting each other stupid videos

just like two fucking mates would,

do you know what I mean?

We're in contact

way, way, way, way, way more often than we ever were.

It was all…

It was all forgiven without saying a word.

I use this word to describe what he's been like

which is a word I'd never,

ever, ever thought I'd use to describe him,

which is delightful.

[♪ "What The World Needs Now Is Love" playing]

[Liam] The music brought us back together.

Oasis, man. Oasis saves.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

[♪ song continues]

[Liam] You ain't gonna get through this fucking life

by not making mistakes because you're not…

we're not fucking robots, do you know what I mean?

So, go out. Have fun.

Get up in the morning, do your fucking day's graft.

Don't be a cunt. Do you know what I mean?

And if you're gonna be a cunt, be a funny cunt.

Live your life and have a good fucking time

and try not to listen to the fucking doom gloomers

like politicians and that, you know what I mean?

Go and do your graft, fucking sort people out. Help…

You know, and that… and that's what life's all about.

So if there's any of that to come from it, I'm all for it,

but the main thing is put your fucking phones down,

that's a start, you know what I mean?

And sing your hearts out, and have a good time

and get drunk and fall over and fucking piss your pants.

Who gives a shit?

There's always tomorrow to fucking…

You know what I mean?

And make a fucking mess, there's always tomorrow

to clean that mess up, you know what I mean?

[Liam] It's bigger than me and Noel.

It doesn't belong to us. Does it? You know.

We're part of it, you know what I mean? But it…

It belongs to us all, you know what I mean?

But it's… It's come from summat else.

Whatever that is, we don't know,

but that's the beautiful thing

and we might find out

and we may not find out one day,

you know what I mean?

And we don't need to know everything in life.

So we might know and we might not.

And we might not be meant to know what things are about.

And I'm-I'm kind of all right with that as well,

you know what I mean?

[fan] Best concert I've ever seen.

Fair do's Liam and Noel.

Made it up, put all their past differences away.

That's the way the world should go.

-We want to say-- -Bury them. Get on with it.

Life's too precious.

[pastor] Forgiveness is hard.

It costs us something.

But if we refuse to forgive,

we imprison ourselves,

we carry bitterness,

anger, and shame.

Forgiveness, it doesn't necessarily mean forgetting

what happened.

It means deciding not to carry it with you anymore.

It means looking forward and not back.

So let me ask you today,

who do you need to forgive?

A friend?

A sibling?

A parent?

Maybe even yourself?
