šŸ’„The biggest reunion story ever made. šŸ’„

Dont Look Back in Anger the official Oasis story.

Critically acclaimed, and described by many reviewers as one of the best music documentaries ever made - Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger has been selling out cinema screenings.

It spans the Oasis reunion of 2025, from initial talks and the ticket scramble chaos through to the moment Oasis fans thought they'd never see - that first walk-on to 'Hello'

After much demand, we've managed to land it at The Empire Theatre for one night only,

Monday September 21st. And like all of our films its only Ā£5

There's no Maybe, this is Definitely your one chance to see it.
Roll With It (to Halstead), and Slide Away (into one of our comfy seats).
It's not Half A World Away, its right on your doorstep.
Acquiesce to the inevitable, and book now.
Stop Crying Your Heart Out as there are still tickets available, but Little by Little they are disappearing.
Some Might Say it's just a documentary, they'd be wrong. D'You Know What I Mean ?
Ci******es and Alcohol ? We do have a full bar with hard and soft drinks, and popcorn and snacks.

We dont want you to look back in anger that youve missed this incredible story on the big screen so get booking now.
