One of the most iconic bands of the 00s has announced that they are embarking on a new reunion – 14 years after their last tour.
Following their comeback performance at Coachella last year, the hitmakers responsible for Don’t Speak and Just A Girl are reuniting for an exclusive Las Vegas residency.
Fronted by Gwen Stefani, alternative rockers No Doubt will come together at the Sphere in Vegas, with six shows currently expected in 2026.
Gwen, 56, will join bandmates Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young for six nights across May 2026.
‘The opportunity to create a show at Sphere excites me in a new way,’ announced Gwen in a statement.
She continued: ‘The venue is unique and modern and it opens up a whole new visual palette for us to be creative.’
In the band’s full statement, Gwen continued: ‘Doing [the show] 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.’
Guitarist Tom Dumont added: ‘When we are on stage together playing these songs we feel the magic. We are stoked to play together again for our fans, to celebrate their years of love and support.’
Drummer Adrian Young said: ‘For anyone who has ever cared or is curious about a No Doubt live concert, this is a special opportunity for that electric band/fan energy exchange in a very unique venue!’
Noted bassist Kanal: ‘There is a beautiful energy that happens when we play together, an electricity I have felt through all of our years.
‘To be able to leave it all on the table each night and take our fans on the insane journey that is Sphere is beyond our wildest dreams.’
As the news dropped on Instagram, fans shared their enthusiasm for the eagerly-awaited reunion in the comments below.
‘I wouldn’t miss this for the world 😍😍😭😭’ wrote Iamfabio_.
‘As a kid it was my dream to see No Doubt in Concert 😍 I need to make this dream come true,’ said Victorialamala.
‘Screaming crying throwing up,’ said spookytropicale.
Teneilleary added: ‘I have been dreaming of this moment and CAN NOT wait!’
After rising to fame in 1995, the group went on their first hiatus in 2004, with the launch of Gwen’s solo career.
During this time, Gwen made a name for herself with hits as The Sweet Escape, Rich Girl and What You Waiting For? from her albums Love. Angel. Music. Baby (2004) and The Sweet Escape (2006).
Meanwhile, Tony Kanal went on to collaborate with Pink on her 2008 album Funhouse, co-writing the title track and providing backing vocals for her song Crystal Ball.
No Doubt split up more permanently in 2015, after the culmination of their final tour and festival dates.
Fans have been clamouring for a No Doubt reunion since the band appeared at Coachella last year, wowing attendees with an energetic set.
No Doubt followed their Coachella appearance by performing at the FireAid benefit concert in Los Angeles this January, raising funds for victims of the LA Wildfires.
Many had hoped that the group would assemble to participate in this year’s Glastonbury Festival, but, alas, it did not come to pass.
Discussing their long hiatus and recent reunion, Gwen told NME: ‘It’s not like we made a decision to not do anything, or not hang out or talk.
The Hollaback Girl singer added: ‘Everybody’s lives just happened. You know, the time we stopped was when I was going through my horrible family breakup.
Referring to her marriage to Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, she continued: ‘I don’t like to say the word ‘divorce’, because it’s just such a disgusting word.
‘But my life just blew up, it really did. A lot of people are like, “Why did it take so long [for a No Doubt reunion]?”
‘But when you have a family, eight years goes by like that. To heal from what happened, I mean it’s still happening, I’m still trying to get through it.’
Presale for No Doubt at Sphere Las Vegas begins on October 10 at 6pm GMT, via Ticketmaster.
