The Oasis documentary chronicling the band's blockbuster 2025 reunion tour starts streaming today, Oct 9, 2026, on Hulu and Disney+ in the United States, while Disney+ carries it in Europe and other international markets. MusicTimes reported the streaming date from weekly previews by the Associated Press and Variety, following a theatrical run that began in September. The film, Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger, follows Liam and Noel Gallagher from rehearsals through sold-out stadium shows, after a backstage blowup at a French festival in 2009 ended the band for more than a decade. It is already the year's highest-grossing documentary feature in the UK and Ireland off a £2.66 million opening weekend, and it sits at 97% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes from 72 critics with a 98% audience score.
The streaming version of this Oasis documentary is not the same film that played in cinemas. According to Disney's announcement, the Hulu and Disney+ cut includes a longer version of the Gallagher brothers' first joint interview in more than 20 years, presented at far greater length than in the theatrical edit. It also carries full performances of the songs "Wonderwall" and "Slide Away," while "D'You Know What I Mean?" and "Half The World Away" appear for the first time and stream exclusively on the two platforms, as reported by Men's Journal and Digital Music News.
What the Oasis documentary adds on streaming
Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace and written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, the Magna Studios production mixes concert footage with rehearsal tapes and backstage interviews. The film dwells less on the breakup than on the reconciliation: wire coverage from the Venice Film Festival premiere described it as part concert film and part documentary, and Southern told the festival audience that crowds played an integral part in bringing the brothers back together, according to AP coverage.
"The great wait is over," Angela Jain, Disney's head of content for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said in the announcement, calling the release exciting for fans and describing the reunion as one of the defining cultural moments of recent times. The theatrical run began Sept 11, 2026, after its festival premiere, and the Oasis documentary has earned close to $12.5 million worldwide since then — an exceptional theatrical result for the genre, and one reason Disney moved fast on the streaming rollout.
From the 2009 split to the 2027 tour
The timeline behind the Oasis documentary is part of its pull. Oasis imploded in 2009, moments before a French festival show, when the feud between the brothers boiled over. A reunion announcement followed in 2024, the comeback tour opened in Cardiff in 2025, and demand stayed intense: the band's newly announced 2027 follow-up run sold out all 42 of its shows within days of going on sale. Viewers who lost the ticket battle now get the next best thing — and for many, the documentary is a warmer, cheaper way in than the resale market ever was.
Critical reception has mostly matched the commercial heat, with one notable caveat. The AP's streaming preview called the film's portrait of forgiveness, fandom and music "quite moving," while noting it is not hard-hitting or especially revelatory. That is a fair warning: this Oasis documentary is a celebration of the comeback, not an exposé of the feud, and viewers hoping for new dirt on the brothers' worst years will leave disappointed.
How to watch, and why this Oasis documentary matters now
In the United States the film streams on Hulu and Disney+, and Disney+ has it across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, according to Variety. For younger viewers who missed Oasis the first time around, the Oasis documentary lands at the peak of a 90s revival and a reunion-tour boom — the rare music film that doubles as a front-row ticket to a show most fans could not get into. The extended Gallagher interview alone is a first: the brothers have not sat down together on camera in over two decades, and the four extra song performances effectively turn the streaming cut into a mini concert.
For a generation discovering the band through reunion clips and 90s fashion cycles, this Oasis documentary is the lowest-friction way to experience the comeback everyone talked about last year. And it slots into a busy season for music films: another high-profile documentary opened in cinemas this week, and the movies topic page has the rest of the beat's streaming picks and box-office coverage.
