Gwen Stefani to reunite with No Doubt at the Sphere for Las Vegas residency

Gwen Stefani is reuniting with her No Doubt bandmates for a limited engagement at the Sphere in Las Vegas next year.

The announcement of their highly anticipated reunion comes a year after the four-piece ska punk band performed together for the first time in nine years at the 2024 Coachella Music Festival.

“The opportunity to create a show at Sphere excites me in a new way,” Stefani said in a statement. “The venue is unique and modern and it opens up a whole new visual palette for us to be creative. Doing it with No Doubt feels like going back in time to relive our history, while also creating something new in a way we never could have imagined.”

The “Don’t Speak” band’s short-term residency will take place May 6, 8, 9, 13, 15 and 16.

Fans have until October 13 at 10 p.m. PT to sign up for presale, which begins October 15 at 10 a.m. PT. General tickets will go on sale starting October 17 at 10 a.m. PT on Ticketmaster.

Consisting of lead singer Stefani, bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young, No Doubt was formed in Anaheim, California, in 1986 and released their last album Push and Shove in 2012. They have since remained on an extended hiatus.

Last year, the Nineties band elated fans with their first major reunion at Coachella.

They had previously teased a surprise performance in a video shared to X. The video began with Stefani reminiscing over a collage she made for the artwork for the band’s second album, 1995’s The Beacon Street Collection. “This is actually bringing back so many memories,” she says. “I’m going to text Tony right now.”

After Stefani asks, “What are we doing?” Young suggests, “Maybe we should do a show?” to general agreement from his bandmates. The clip ends with Stefani saying: “Let’s do a show” and a graphic of a question mark.

Within minutes, the band was revealed as a featured act on the festival lineup.

They performed across both festival weekends, and later came together in January to perform at the FireAid benefit in Los Angeles to support those affected by the California wildfires.

No Doubt’s upcoming residency will be the Sphere’s first female-fronted headlining act. Others have included Dead & Co., U2, Eagles, Anyma and Backstreet Boys.

Stefani, who has also had a successful solo career, previously put on her own Vegas residency, “Just a Girl: Las Vegas,” at the Zappos Theater in 2018.
