Steven Knight To Produce Oasis Concert Film
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight will produce a film following Oasis on their summer reunion tour.
Oasis Live ‘25 will be directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace. The duo previously worked on the LCD Soundsystem concert film Shut Up And Play The Hits and Meet Me In The Bathroom, the documentary on the early 2000s NYC music scene.
The film will be a Magna Studios production. The company’s previous credits include Beastie Boys Story, Gangs Of London, 20000 Days On Earth, and Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now.
The project will be distributed by Sony Music Vision. Krista Wegener of Sony Music Vision will lead global sales.
There had been reports in the UK tabloid papers that Oasis had set plans to document their reunion tour for cinema audiences. The band has not performed together since 2009 when a backstage row between the Gallagher brothers saw songwriter Noel quit the band. They have scheduled 17 gigs next year across the UK and Ireland, beginning in Cardiff in July. Tickets were in such demand that many fans were left disappointed or paying hundreds of dollars more than anticipated, due to “dynamic pricing” on the sales websites, and a government watchdog is currently investigating the ticket sales process.
The BBC later reported that more than 50,000 UK tour tickets sold on secondary platforms will be canceled. The band’s promoters, Live Nation and SJM, told BBC File on 4 that all invalidated tickets will be made available again through the official seller, Ticketmaster, at face value.
