No Doubt, the iconic punk band from Anaheim, California, made a triumphant return to the stage after nearly a decade at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this past weekend. The reunion set was marked by high-energy performances of their greatest hits from their seminal album 'Tragic Kingdom' as well as some fan favorites from the early 2000s.
The band, consisting of Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young, Tom Dumont, Stephen Bradley and Garbial McNair took the stage on Saturday night to a raucous crowd. The energy was palpable as they opened with their hit song 'Different People' followed by other classics like 'Sunday Morning' and 'Hella Good'.
The highlight of the set came midway through when Olivia Rodrigo, the 20-year-old pop sensation known for her smash hits like 'drivers license', joined No Doubt on stage to perform a back-and-forth rendition of their song 'Bathwater'. The crowd erupted in cheers as the two artists shared the spotlight, with Rodrigo donning an I Heart ND shirt.
Stefani proved that she still has what it takes to command a stage, showcasing her signature style and boundless energy throughout the set. She had fun with 'Just a Girl' by asking for only the men in the crowd to sing it with her, while also sharing an emotional moment during 'Don't Speak', performing alongside Kanal.
The band closed out their set with a trio of jams from 'Tragic Kingdom', including hits like 'Just a Girl', 'Don't Speak' and the fan favorite, 'Spiderwebs'. The performance was met with thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd.
No Doubt's reunion set at Coachella proved that they are still a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Their high-energy performances, iconic sound and undeniable chemistry on stage made for an unforgettable night of punk rock nostalgia.
