No Doubt Sets Las Vegas Sphere Residency

Gwen Stefani might dream of a “Simple Kind of Life,” but she recently agreed to a monumentally huge opportunity, which will make her the first woman to headline the MSG-owned Sphere in Las Vegas.

Billboard can confirm that Stefani will reunite with her band No Doubt to play a run of six shows at the iconic arena visible from the famed Las Vegas Strip. First reported by TMZ, the booking will make Stefani the first woman to headline the 17,600-seat arena, which has hosted concerts from U2, Dead & Company, Eagles, Backstreet Boys and more since opening in late 2023.

The concerts are scheduled to take place some time in 2026; the building’s event calendar is booked up mostly through mid-April with concerts by Zac Brown Band, Eagles, Backstreet Boys and Illenium.

No Doubt has only performed twice since breaking up in 2015, most recently at the 2025 FireAid benefit concert in January, when they played a medley of hits from the band’s Tragic Kingdom album to help raise funds for victims of the deadly Pacific Palisades fire. Prior to that, the band reunited for two performances at Coachella in 2024, where they delivered an energetic 80-minute set spanning fan favorites like “Just a Girl,” “Don’t Speak” and “Hella Good” and including a guest appearance by Olivia Rodrigo on “Bathwater.”

No Doubt emerged from Anaheim, California’s ska and punk scene in 1986, eventually becoming one of the defining pop-rock bands of the 1990s. Their breakthrough album, Tragic Kingdom, topped the Billboard 200 for nine consecutive weeks, catapulting the group to global fame. Over the course of six studio albums, No Doubt earned two Grammy Awards and nine nominations, including recognition for Tragic Kingdom in the best rock album category and “Don’t Speak” as best pop performance by a duo or group with vocals. After nearly three decades together, the band went on hiatus in the mid-2010s as Stefani pursued a successful solo career, beginning with her 2004 debut album Love. Angel. Music. Baby and the four-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Hollaback Girl.”
