Oasis reunion movie by Peaky Blinders creator to be filmed during tour
The much anticipated reunion shows were announced last year, 15 years after the infamous backstage bust-up between singer Liam Gallagher and his brother Noel which saw the rock band split in 2009.
The tour is scheduled to begin on 4 July at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and will then continue for 39 more dates across the UK and around the world.
According to a press release, the film about the tour will be 'created and produced' by Knight, who as well as creating Peaky Blinders is also known for writing David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises, Stephen Frears' Dirty Pretty Things and producing, directing and writing Locke starring Tom Hardy.
His recent projects include creating This Town for the BBC, writing the script for the Oscar nominated film Maria starring Angelina Jolie and writing Disney+'s A Thousand Blows starring Stephen Graham.
Directors Southern and Lovelace are known for bridging documentary and concert film with Shut Up And Play The Hits, about LCD Soundsystem, and their documentary about the early 2000s New York music scene Meet Me In The Bathroom.
Speaking to The Independent in 2023, Southern and Lovelace said they were fascinated by the way the music industry changed during the transition from the 1990s to the 2000s, a similar period of time that spans Oasis' career.
'In 1999, very few people would have had email or a cell phone. By 2003, everyone's got both of those things. The speed of technological change is just exponential from that point,' said Southern. 'You're in this really interesting period where the world just slips from one mode into another.'
No release date or official title has yet been set for the Oasis tour film.
The shows have already been met with controversy over the price of the tickets. Ticketmaster is currently being investigated over allegations that it deployed the so-called 'dynamic pricing' model when Oasis tickets went on sale last year, with prices doubling from £148 to £355.
And last month ticket holders were left concerned the gig may be much shorter than they presumed when purchasing tickets, with Gallagher writing on X/Twitter the show would last '59 minutes 59 secs'.

Sophie Turner Responds to Mommy Shamer on Instagram
After years of criticism in the press, Sophie Turner isn't afraid to stand up for herself. Last week, Sophie called out a mommy shamer in her Instagram comments, defending herself from yet another unwarranted attack on her parenting. This all began on Aug. 4, when Sophie shared a carousel on Instagram of herself and friends enjoying a night out at an Oasis concert. 'Bucket hats & beers... That'll do me. Thank you @levis,' she captioned the post. Pretty harmless stuff, unless you're a troll looking for clout. One such troll decided to take to the comments, writing, 'lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.' If that sounds like a weird thing to assume based on one photo dump from an Oasis concert, that's because it is. And Sophie, who is mom to Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3, with her ex Joe Jonas, wasn't about to let it slide. 'Ah, I'm so sorry, sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves,' she wrote in response. 'So... Get this... There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.' Sophie is no stranger to this line of criticism. After she and Joe announced their split in 2023, she was painted as an absent mother to their two young girls. Tabloids accused her of being a bad mother while Joe was photographed having lunch with their kids. 'Those were the worst few days of my life,' Sophie later told British Vogue, explaining that, at the time, she was on set in the UK filming Joan and unable to return to the states to see her girls. 'It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother—mum guilt is so real!' After a contentious custody battle, Sophie and Joe were able to work out a joint custody agreement, and the two appear to be on good terms.
