Gwen Stefani and No Doubt reunite for a spectacular series of shows at the Sphere in Las Vegas, bringing back the sparkle and energy that established them as one of the most beloved bands of the '90s.
The legendary band No Doubt, fronted by the one and only Gwen Stefani, is making a sensational comeback that is already sending fans into a frenzy. After nearly a decade away, the band has announced that they will be returning to the stage — this time for six one-off shows at the Sphere in Las Vegas in May 2026.

The news has been confirmed by multiple sources and has already sparked excitement on social media. The shows will begin on May 6th, with additional shows on May 8th, 10th, 13th, 15th and 16th, while pre-sale begins on October 15th at 10am (West Coast time). Those who want to secure a seat at the most anticipated live show of the year can register now on the No Doubt website for exclusive access to the artist presale.
The 17.600-seat Sphere has become the new hot spot for the world’s biggest concerts, hosting acts like U2, Dead & Company, the Eagles and the Backstreet Boys. The fact that Gwen Stefani will be the first female artist to headline a residency at the venue makes the reunion even more historic.
Stefani herself, in a statement, spoke with emotion about this new chapter:
"Creating a show at the Sphere is something completely new and different for us. The space is so modern and technologically advanced, it allows us to express ourselves in ways we never imagined. Doing this with No Doubt is like going back in time, but also creating something brand new at the same time."
The band broke up in 2015 and have only reunited twice since. The most recent was in January 2025, when Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, Adrian Young, Stephen Bradley and Gabriel McNair took to the stage at the FireAid Benefit Concert in Los Angeles, supporting victims of the California wildfires. The band opened their set with the iconic "Just a Girl", continued with "Don't Speak" and closed with "Spiderwebs", giving the audience goosebumps.
Their previous major performance was at Coachella in 2024, where they were joined on stage by Olivia Rodrigo, in a moment that made history at the festival. Since 2012, the album Push and shove, No Doubt have not released a new album, which makes their imminent return even more highly anticipated.

Gwen Stefani had admitted in an interview with Fault magazine in 2023 that that period was difficult:
"The Push and shove "It was an album we wrote in a very confusing time. I had just finished a world tour, I had become a mother, and we were trying to find our chemistry again. It was a process full of tension and emotions."
Despite the obstacles, the band's passion for music never waned. No Doubt remains a symbol of an entire era that marked the 90s, with ska, punk and pop sounds that influenced entire generations.
Recently, Stefani made another surprise appearance on stage, this time at Dua Lipa's concert in Los Angeles, where the two sang "Don't Speak" together. The audience was thrilled, and the clip went viral within hours. It was perhaps the first "teaser" of what Gwen was preparing backstage.
No Doubt's Las Vegas reunion is not just another comeback. It's a journey into the past and a promise for the future. The band seems poised to revive the brilliance that established them, while giving fans an experience that will combine music, technology and emotional nostalgia.
The Sphere, with its stunning visuals and 360-degree sound, will be the perfect setting to showcase No Doubt's history and energy. According to people close to the production, Stefani has already personally taken on the artistic design of the show, while the setlist is expected to include both past hits and unexpected surprises.
The news has caused an explosion on social media, with hashtags like #NoDoubtReunion and #GwenStefaniSphere going viral within hours. Fans are commenting that this is "the comeback of the decade," while many are already planning a trip to Las Vegas to experience this magical experience firsthand.
