After surprising fans with a brief reunion at the 2024 Coachella
Valley Music and Arts Festival, the ska-punks have set their
sights on Las Vegas. The band will embark on a six-show
residency at the Sphere: May 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, and 16 in 2026.
The state-of-the-art, 17,500 capacity, $2.3 billion arena has
seen performances by Phish, the Backstreet Boys, Dead & Company,
the Eagles and more. No Doubt is making history by joining them
— singer Gwen Stefani will become the first woman to headline
the space.
“The opportunity to create a show at Sphere excites me in a new
way. The venue is unique and modern and it opens up a whole new
visual palette for us to be creative,” Stefani said in a
statement. "Doing it with No Doubt feels like going back in time
to relive our history, while also creating something new in a
way we never could have imagined.”
Presale begins Wednesday at 10 a.m. Pacific; it requires that
fans sign up on No Doubt's official website. Tickets will go on
sale starting Oct. 17 at 10 a.m. Pacific.
The Sphere opened in 2023. U2 kicked off performances at the
venue with a 40-show residency.
No Doubt's last residency, titled “Seven Night Stand,” took
place in Los Angeles in 2012.
“I can’t wait to get on stage again with my bandmates. There is
a beautiful energy that happens when we play together, an
electricity I have felt through all of our years,” bassist Tony
Kanal said in a statement. "To be able to leave it all on the
table each night and take our fans on the insane journey that is
Sphere is beyond our wildest dreams. See you in May!”
