Gwen Stefani is back fronting No Doubt with shows scheduled for next year!
The hitmakers are set to headline six shows in May 2026 as part of a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, TMZ was the first to report. The performances will make Stefani, 56, the first female headliner since the venue opened in 2023.
Before their official announcement on Friday, Oct. 10, the “Don’t Speak” band shared a video on Instagram teasing fans to sign up to be the first to know about what they’ve been working on.
“Leave your email at the link in bio and we’ll hit you back 🎶🕸️☎️,” No Doubt captioned their Instagram post on Thursday, Oct. 9.
The post appeared to coincide with the Sphere sharing a video on Instagram of the venue turning into an orange. No Doubt fans in the comments section were quick to liken it to the band’s Tragic Kingdom album artwork and noted that the record is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Hours later, the band confirmed their residency with a video of the orange being peeled to reveal the members alongside the date tickets go on sale.
“Remain seated, please. Permanecer sentados, por favor. Welcome to the Vegas skyline,” No Doubt captioned the Oct. 10 Instagram post. “🍊👑 We are pleased to announce our limited engagement run, No Doubt Live @SphereVegas, May 2026.
“Presale begins on Oct 15 at 10am PT. @vibeepresents ticket/hotel packages on sale today, Oct 10 at 12pm PT. All tickets on sale Oct 17 at 10am PT. Link in bio,” the post concluded.
Stefani reposted the video on her Instagram Stories, saying, “It’s official. 🤍 no doubt. the sphere. Vegas. you. me. lets go 🕷 gx.”
The Sphere has a busy calendar in the months before No Doubt will headline, with performances from U2, the Eagles and the Backstreet Boys scheduled, per Rolling Stone.
Since 2015, the members of No Doubt have only reunited for two performances. The Orange County natives performed their ’90s hits “Just a Girl” and “Don’t Speak” as part of their performance at FireAid in Los Angeles in January. The event was held to raise money and awareness for Los Angeles wildfire relief.
A year prior, the band came together for the first time in over a decade to perform at Coachella in Indio, California, alongside special guest Olivia Rodrigo. The April 2024 set list included “It’s My Life,” “Just a Girl,” and “Bathwater.”

“Performing at Coachella and feeling all that love for us after all this time was kind of overwhelming,” said Stefani, per HELLO! Magazine. “We hadn’t done anything together for so long, so to do that and be there for each other, with all of our families, meant so much to me.”
“It had been so long, but it was as if we had never been apart,” she added.
The band, comprised of Tom Dumont on guitar, Tony Kanal on bass and Adrian Young on the drums, hasn’t released a new album since 2012’s Push and Shove. Meanwhile, Stefani’s latest solo album, Bouquet, was released in November 2024.
Ahead of the album’s release, the “What You Waiting For?” singer revealed to NME that she was hopeful No Doubt would reunite when the time was right.

“I’m sure we’re gonna do something again at some point. It just has to be the right thing that makes sense [with] all of our schedules,” she told the U.K. music news outlet. “It takes so much work to do a No Doubt thing – the rehearsals, everything.
“It’s really hard for me because — I know I keep saying it — but I have three kids. I don’t take that lightly; I don’t want to mess that up,” Stefani added.
