No Doubt is reuniting for this year’s Coachella Music Festival in April. The band’s official Twitter page confirmed on Tuesday (January 16) that all four members: Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Adrian Young have agreed to “do a show” — and soon after that, Coachella posted their lineup, including No Doubt. The minute-long video begins with Stefani showing off collage artwork she made for the band’s second album, The Beacon Street Collection. After feeling “so nostalgic” about those times, Stefani gets on a video call with “the guys.” After some playful banter from the men, the frontwoman asks the bandmates, “What are we doing? Why do we not hang out?” Kanal responds, “We should hang out,” but then Young asks, “Maybe we should do a show?”
In an interview with WSJ Magazine in December 2022, Stefani hinted at a reunion. The “Spiderwebs” singer teased, “What are the odds of anything?” Adding that “anything can happen,” the musician said all the ’90s groups have done reunions in recent years with sold-out shows, like blink-182.
2024 Coachella Notable Lineup
Besides the major news of the beloved ’90s rock-ska band, notable acts across all genres will be performing at the Coachella Music Festival. Lana Del Rey, Lil Uzi Vert, Deftones, and Sabrina Carpenter are among the artists to perform on the Fridays of each weekend. On both Saturdays, Tyler, the Creator, Ice Spice, Sublime, Grimes, and Jon Batiste are among the biggest artists to be hitting the stage. Finally, on the highly-anticipated Sunday slots, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Jhené Aiko, Khruangbin, Lil Yachty, Bebe Rexha, Coi Leray, Victoria Monét, and Taking Back Sunday are some of the biggest artists to close out the festival. It’s not clear what day No Doubt will play – or if they’ll even play both weekends (as the video mentioned getting back together for a show, not shows). Coachella takes place this April 12 to 14, then the following weekend April 19 to 21. Pre-sale starts this Friday, January 19 at 2 p.m. ET on the official Coachella website.

Gwen Stefani's 10 Best Songs Of All Time Ranked
Gwen Stefani was born on October 3, 1969, named after a stewardess in the 1968 novel Airport. The singer-songwriter dropped out of California State University in 1987 to pursue a music career. Before she dropped out of college, her brother Eric asked her to be the vocalist of the ska band No Doubt. With the rise in popularity of grunge music at the time, the band didn’t see mainstream success until their third album in 1995, Tragic Kingdom, which featured hits like “Don’t Speak,” “Just a Girl,” and “Spiderwebs.” At this time, Stefani also began working outside of the band. She collaborated with rapper/ singer Eve and was featured on her song “Let Me Blow Ya Mind.”
Gwen’s Solo Career
During the band’s hiatus, Stefani embarked on a solo pop career in 2004 by releasing her debut studio album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. “Rich Girl” was released as the album’s second single as her second collaboration with Eve, and produced by Dr. Dre. The album also featured hits like “What You Waiting For?” and “Hollaback Girl.” Two years later, she released her second studio album, The Sweet Escape. “Wind It Up” and “The Sweet Escape” were among the mainstream hits on the record.
In 2014, Stefani became a judge on NBC’s The Voice, where she met her now-husband Blake Shelton. They announced their relationship a year later and married in 2021. In 2019, she was featured on Shelton’s single “Nobody but You” from his compilation album Fully Loaded: God’s Country. Besides her music career, Stefani has appeared in films like Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Aviator. Following the release of Love. Angel. Music. Baby, she launched a fashion line called L.A.M.B., with the release of the less expensive Harajuku Lovers line. In March 2022, Stefani tapped into the makeup industry with the launch of GXVE Beauty.
