Andy Burnham, the Prime Minister and former Mayor of Greater Manchester, has been invited to the premiere of the Oasis documentary "Don’t Look Back In Anger," scheduled for September 7 in London’s Leicester Square. The Disney+ film tracks the career of the iconic Britpop band, with Noel and Liam Gallagher expected to attend the star-studded event.

Burnham, a long-time Oasis fan, has publicly expressed his admiration for the band and their reunion. He previously served as mayor when Oasis performed five sold-out shows at Heaton Park in Manchester during their 2025 Live ’25 tour. Reflecting on the concerts, Burnham described the events as a moment the city had eagerly anticipated.

The Prime Minister has developed a rapport with both Gallagher brothers over the years. Noel Gallagher has supported local charitable initiatives linked to homelessness during former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany’s testimonial year, while Liam Gallagher contributed by recording announcements for the city’s trams to promote Beyond The Music, a new music conference. Burnham noted that although he had seen both brothers perform individually, he had never attended a concert featuring them together until the recent reunion.

His engagement with the Manchester music scene continues beyond Oasis, with appearances at notable events such as the Brit Awards, held in Manchester this year at the Co-op Live arena, and the Silver Clef Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where he presented an award to the band James.

Burnham has also showcased his musical preferences on social media, ranking Oasis as his top band in a recent TikTok video, alongside other acts like The Smiths and Wolf Alice. Earlier this year, the band permitted him to use their 1995 hit "Some Might Say" in a campaign video during his successful bid in the Makerfield by-election.

His anticipated presence at the documentary premiere echoes a moment from the late 1990s “Cool Britannia” era, when Noel Gallagher attended a reception at 10 Downing Street hosted by then-Prime Minister Tony Blair. Nearly three decades later, Burnham’s participation underscores Oasis’s enduring cultural influence in Britain.
