No Doubt is reuniting once again — this time for a Las Vegas residency.
Former bandmates Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young are set to headline a six-show No Doubt Live at Sphere residency in May 2026. The shows will be the group’s first extended run of performances in nearly 14 years.
“The opportunity to create a show at Sphere excites me in a new way,” Stefani, 56, said in a press release. “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 rock band, fronted by Stefani, was formed in 1986. The group eventually went on hiatus in 2008 but reunited soon after. By 2013, the musicians disbanded for good. Bassist Kanal, 57, meanwhile, is equally excited to reunite with his bandmates on the Sphere stage. (The Sphere shows will take place on May 6, May 8, May 9, May 13, May 15 and May 16 of next year.
“I can’t wait to get on stage again,” Kanal said in a statement. “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.”
Stefani, Kanal and their fellow musicians last performed together during the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in April 2024. The band played several of their most iconic hits, even teaming up with special guest Olivia Rodrigo for a rendition of “Bathwater.”
“The band and I wanted to do something cohesive and nostalgic that felt like something we’ve always done but [also] felt new,” Stefani exclusively told Us Weekly of picking her plaid outfit for the show. “I feel like wearing plaid has always been there and is signature for the band. I sent some references to the band, and we thought this would be a cool way to have something similar but with our individual styles at the same time.”
Kanal, for his part, later exclusively told Us that it was electric taking the Coachella stage with his No Doubt crew.
“It’s hard to put into words how incredible it was,” he said later that month. “It was just an amazing experience for all six of us. We haven’t played in almost nine years. We prepped really well for the show. We rehearsed a lot and put a lot of time into the production. So, we were ready to go.”
He continued, “When you play a festival, you don’t know what the response is going to be. Festival crowds can be tricky, but it was everything we hoped for. It was pretty spectacular.”
Kanal also thought it was “incredible” being back in the rehearsal studio with Stefani, Dumont, 57, and Young, 56.
“I felt like going into this, I was 16 again — when the band started — and it just felt like that same type of energy that we were bringing to it,” Kanal concluded.
Tickets to No Doubt’s residency go on sale Friday, October 17, at 10 a.m. PT after an artist presale earlier that week.
