If you ever thought the 1990s were gone for good, get ready for a blast of neon-ska-punk revival. The magnificent No Doubt are stepping back into the spotlight with a high-stakes run at Las Vegas’s ultra-futuristic Sphere this coming May. This marks their first extended run of shows in nearly 14 years.
There’s something electric about this particular moment. Fronted by the irrepressible Gwen Stefani with bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young, No Doubt helped soundtrack a generation with albums like “Tragic Kingdom”. Their mix of ska, punk, pop and reggae-tinged rock still sounds vital.
Dates kick off on 6 May 2026 in Las Vegas, with further nights over the spring.
The show will be presented as “No Doubt Live at Sphere”, their first full-blown residency since the early 2010s.
This represents more than just playing songs, expect visuals, production, the works. Gwen herself said the venue “opens up a whole new visual palette for us to be creative”.
Could this lead to a world tour?
While no official world-tour has been announced yet, let’s read the signs:
The residency is limited and special. A run like this often serves as the proof of concept for bigger tours.
The band has reunited, played recent high-profile events, and clearly have hunger again.
Fans globally have been waiting. Touring outside North America would not just be smart, it would honour those pockets of fandom around Europe, Australia, Asia, Latin America.
I’d go as far as saying: mark your calendars not only for Las Vegas. Because if this residency lands flawlessly, No Doubt will tour worldwide. And whether you’re in Warsaw, London, Tokyo, or Santiago, there’s reason to hope.
Get ready. The web of anticipation is spun. No Doubt are back as a force alive in the present. This May in Las Vegas will be electric. And if you love live music, live colour, live emotion, you should be there, or there should be a version of “there” coming to your city soon.
Stay tuned. This one’s going to be something special.
