No Doubt Unveils Electrifying Las Vegas Sphere Residency

Gwen Stefani is set to make history as the first woman to headline the MSG-owned Sphere in Las Vegas, a monumental opportunity that will see her reunite with her iconic band No Doubt. Billboard has confirmed that the band will play a series of six shows at the cutting-edge arena, visible from the famous Las Vegas Strip. This booking, initially reported by TMZ, marks a significant milestone for Stefani, as the Sphere, which opened in late 2023, has previously hosted major acts such as U2, Dead & Company, Eagles, and Backstreet Boys.

The highly anticipated concerts are slated for sometime in 2026, as the Sphere's event calendar is largely booked through mid-April with performances by Zac Brown Band, Eagles, Backstreet Boys, and Illenium. This reunion is particularly notable given No Doubt's limited appearances since their hiatus in 2015. The band's most recent performance was at the 2025 FireAid benefit concert in January, where they delivered a medley of hits from their seminal album Tragic Kingdom to support victims of the Pacific Palisades fire.

Prior to the FireAid event, No Doubt had reunited for two electrifying performances at Coachella in 2024. During these shows, they presented an 80-minute set featuring fan favorites like “Just a Girl,” “Don’t Speak,” and “Hella Good,” and even included a guest appearance by Olivia Rodrigo on “Bathwater.”

No Doubt originated from Anaheim, California’s vibrant ska and punk scene in 1986. They steadily evolved to become one of the most influential pop-rock bands of the 1990s. Their breakthrough album, Tragic Kingdom, achieved immense success, topping the Billboard 200 for nine consecutive weeks and propelling the group to global stardom. Over their nearly three-decade career, No Doubt released six studio albums, earning two Grammy Awards and nine nominations, including recognition for Tragic Kingdom in the Best Rock Album category and “Don’t Speak” for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

After their extensive run, the band went on hiatus in the mid-2010s, allowing Gwen Stefani to further pursue a highly successful solo career. Her solo endeavors began with her 2004 debut album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby., which featured the four-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Hollaback Girl,” solidifying her status as a solo artist.
