Show moreNo Doubt Announces Residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere and Reveals 2026 Dates
Following their widely praised reunion at Coachella 2024, No Doubt has announced a six-show residency set for May 2026 at the revolutionary Sphere in Las Vegas. The band—fronted by Gwen Stefani and completed by Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Adrian Young—will take the stage on May 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, and 16. Stefani expressed enthusiasm for the venue’s advanced capabilities, describing it as a platform to reinterpret the group’s history while exploring new creative directions previously out of reach.
The band’s return to live performance at Coachella—their first full concerts since 2015—sparked overwhelming public interest, which only grew after a subsequent appearance at the FireAid benefit held at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum. The Kia Forum, originally opened in 1967 as The Forum, has long been a landmark venue for major tours, hosting acts from The Rolling Stones to Beyoncé. According to Maria Chen, a live music analyst at Live Sound Journal, "No Doubt’s reunion taps into powerful nostalgia, but performing at the Sphere positions them squarely within the future of concert production—blending their iconic sound with groundbreaking visual immersion."
With this residency, No Doubt becomes the first female-led act to headline the Sphere, joining an elite roster of performers such as U2, Dead & Company, and the Eagles. For Stefani, the shows also represent a return to the Las Vegas Strip, where she previously held her "Just a Girl" residency at the Zappos Theater. That production, which began in 2018, was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the postponement and eventual rescheduling of eight performances into 2021—a testament to her lasting appeal in the entertainment capital.
While the Las Vegas dates confirm the band’s return to touring, questions about new music remain. No plans have been confirmed for a studio album following 2012’s "Push and Shove." In a recent interview with Nylon, Stefani reflected on the uncertainty of future projects, stating she doesn’t "have a crystal ball" but remains open to artistic possibilities, leaving room for potential new work without committing to a timeline.
A presale for the limited engagement begins October 15 at 10 a.m. PT, with general ticket sales starting October 17 at the same time. All tickets will be sold exclusively via Ticketmaster.
