This iconic Orange County band, known for their infectious blend of pop, ska, and punk, will grace the Indio, California desert for the first time in nearly a decade, sending goosebumps through fans eager to witness their electrifying live show.
News of the reunion broke on January 16th, 2024, alongside the announcement of the highly anticipated Coachella lineup.

The announcement sent social media into a frenzy, with No Doubt trending worldwide and fans expressing their disbelief and excitement.
This reunion marks a significant milestone for No Doubt, who haven’t toured together since 2015. After releasing their iconic album “Tragic Kingdom” in 1995 and achieving international success with hits like “Don’t Speak,” “Just a Girl,” and “Hey Baby,” the band went on hiatus in 2002. Though they reunited for several tours and festivals throughout the following decade, their last official performance as a band was at the 2015 Nova Rock festival in Austria.
While specific dates for No Doubt’s Coachella performance haven’t been announced yet, the band hinted at their return with a playful social media video on January 16th. The video featured Gwen Stefani reminiscing about the band’s early days and culminated in her surprising call with bandmates Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Adrian Young, culminating in a joyous “yes!” to the question, “You guys want to do a show?”
This reunion isn’t just a nostalgic throwback for longtime fans; it represents a welcome return for a band that continues to hold immense cultural relevance. No Doubt’s music transcended genres and generations, with their infectious melodies, Gwen Stefani’s powerful vocals, and Adrian Young’s signature trumpet creating an instantly recognizable sound. Their lyrics tackled themes of heartbreak, empowerment, and self-discovery, resonating deeply with audiences worldwide.
Beyond their own music, No Doubt has inspired countless artists and helped pave the way for future acts blurring the lines between pop and punk. Their influence can be heard in artists like Paramore, Hayley Williams, and even modern pop stars like Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo.
The Coachella reunion promises to be more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It’s an opportunity for a new generation of music lovers to experience the magic of No Doubt live, witness their undeniable stage presence, and sing along to anthems that have stood the test of time.
