Where to stream Oasis documentary 'Supersonic' as Liam and Noel Gallagher return to Manchester
As Liam and Noel Gallagher bring their highly anticipated Live '25 reunion tour to Manchester's Heaton Park this weekend, the critically acclaimed documentary Oasis: Supersonic is now available to stream for free in the UK.
The 2016 documentary shows fans an insight into the band's beginnings back in the early 90s, blending archive footage with interviews with the band, including Liam and Noel and follows their success into the late 1990s.
Supersonic begins with Oasis' formation in 1991, showing their rise to fame throughout the years and finishes with their iconic performance at Knebworth in 1996. From director Mat Whitecross and executive producers Asif Kapadia and Oscar-winner James Gay-Rees from the film Amy, Supersonic offers a powerful look at Oasis's rise.
Channel 4's streaming service has now made the documentary available to watch for free, helping fans gear up for upcoming tour dates in Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin - following two standout shows at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
The documentary is free to watch with adverts, or without adverts if you fancy paying Channel 4's monthly subscription that starts at £3.99 a month with a 7-day free trial.
However the documentary is only available to stream until August 4, so fans better watch it while they still can.
If fans miss the opportunity to watch the documentary for free on Channel 4, it is available for purchase on Apple TV from £3.49, with a valid Apple TV subscription.
The documentary was a hit with critics and fans, having gained an 84% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The news outlet NME called Supersonic "rousing, heart-rending and really funny."
While Espinof, the Spanish outlet, wrote that it was "not the most honest movie about the group, but definitely, maybe, the best documentary about a rock band to this date".
Fans were quick to give their opinion on the documentary with one fan, writing on the review site Rotten Tomatoes: "An insight into the highs and lows of being part of one of the greatest rock bands of all time. A one to watch for all music fans."
While another simply stated: "Such a good documentary ! 10/10."
The 2016 documentary may not be the last, as there have been reports of a new film in the works documenting Oasis's long-awaited reunion. Although Liam Gallagher was quick to shut down the rumours.
Back in October, the 52-year-old responded to a fan question on X, formerly known as Twitter about a possible new documentary, saying: "We're not doing 1 I'm not gonna be in it anyway I'm doing the gigs there's been enough said about this band it's time to get Rocking and Rolling not yapping and scrapping."
However, it seems Oasis fans are still hopeful, with one fan replying to the rock legend: "You guys can make new memories now and then perhaps there can be a doc down the road."

Dynamic Pricing: The UK areas happy to pay more for tickets and the areas that won't
Some areas are still happy to pay concert ticket prices, but for many, going to a show is no longer feasible Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Concert ticket prices in the UK have surged dramatically since 1996, now costing nearly three times more than inflation alone would suggest. This significant increase is driven by rising production costs and dynamic pricing, with some major artists seeing their ticket prices jump by over 300%. But as dynamic pricing continues, what areas of the country are happy to pay these prices - and where have given up going to shows altogether? With Oasis playing their final two homecoming gigs at Heaton Park (July 19 & 20) and Lady Gaga's The MAYHEM Ball World Tour kicking off earlier this week, it's quite the reminder that there are still several huge tours coming to the United Kingdom before the end of 2025. That's for those who were lucky enough to get tickets to see the likes of the aforementioned pair or Billie Eilish and Stray Kids. Dynamic pricing, which many have encountered when trying to buy tickets to the biggest tours of the United Kingdom this year, has led to an overwhelming number of complaints regarding the practice, with many calling for a price cap as ticketing costs have easily reached hundreds before even entering the reseller market. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad What areas of the United Kingdom have stopped attending shows due to the rising cost in ticket prices and dynamic pricing? | Canva So, are people still happy to fork out whatever the price, or is it starting to put a dampener on their plans for those must-see concerts and sporting showdowns? OLBG wanted to get to the heart of how this is all playing out for the average UK event-goer, to find out where people are happy to pay whatever the costs may be, and where in the country people are taking a harder line when it comes to increased ticketing costs. Methodology (the science part) OLGB gathered the information provided through a comprehensive survey conducted among 2,000 individuals across the UK in February 2025. This survey aimed to capture a snapshot of consumer sentiment regarding pricing trends and event attendance in the entertainment and sports sectors. Participants were asked a series of direct questions designed to gauge the impact of rising costs on their habits. Key inquiries included whether increasing expenses for music concerts and other entertainment events, as well as sporting events, had affected their attendance. The survey also delved into consumer willingness to consider boycotting professional football matches specifically due to ticket prices, and explored how the shift to digital ticketing has influenced their overall experience when attending events. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Which areas are happy to pay dynamic prices? Over a third (33%) of Liverpool residents reported that rising prices have not affected their attendance, higher than any other UK city. | Canva Liverpool residents still love their music and events, regardless of whether they become expensive or not. A significant 34% of residents reported that dynamic pricing has not affected their attendance at events. Following closely behind is Southampton at 32%, while other northern and central English cities also appear comfortable with the pricing model. Sheffield (29%), Newcastle (27%), and Nottingham (26%), are still happy to pay whatever the price to attend some of the biggest UK concerts this year. In Birmingham and London, a quarter (25%) of music lovers are not affected by dynamic pricing, with Norwich and Leeds close behind at 24% each. Which areas are not happy to pay dynamic prices? Almost three in five (58%) Edinburgh residents have admitted to attending fewer entertainment events due to ticket costs, which is higher than any other UK city. | Canva Dynamic pricing in certain hotspots is seeing event-goers feeling the pinch and making their unhappiness known. Leading the charge, as Oasis continue their shows in Heaton Park, is Manchester, with Belfast and Bristol also seeing a significant number of music fans are just not keen on fluctuating ticket costs. With only 14% of residents in these cities reporting that dynamic pricing hasn't bothered their attendance, it's clear that the majority are finding it a real turn-off or a reason to stay home. For gig-lovers in these areas, spontaneity might be taking a back seat to budgeting. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad While some cities are shrugging off dynamic pricing, these particular areas show a distinct chill and the effects might also be hindering smaller venues and bars. Dynamic pricing seems to be hitting hard, and the discussion if many fans are being priced out of attending concerts seems relevant once again. Have you stopped going to shows or cut back on the amount of concerts you're attending this year? Let us know your thoughts on ticket costs and dynamic pricing by leaving a comment down below.
