No Doubt to Headline The Las Vegas Sphere — Gwen Stefani Becomes Venue’s First Female Headliner

3 months ago 11

Don’t speak—just scream! No Doubt is officially reuniting for a Las Vegas residency at The Sphere, making Gwen Stefani the first-ever female headliner at the world’s most high-tech concert venue.

The ska-punk icons—Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Adrian Young will hit the stage for six explosive shows between May and June 2026, marking their first run of concerts in nearly a decade.

The Return Heard ‘Round the Sphere

Managed by Tina Kennedy at Full Stop and booked by Keith Sarkisian of WME, this residency isn’t just another nostalgia play—it’s a full-circle cultural moment. Since opening two years ago, The Sphere has hosted heavyweights like U2, The Eagles, Dead & Company, Phish, Kenny Chesney, Backstreet Boys, and Carín León—but until now, no woman had claimed the dome.

That changes with Stefani, who’s been rewriting rules since her orange-hair-and-bindi days.

A Ska Comeback Worth $10 Million

This marks just the third time No Doubt has performed together since 2015, following their long-awaited Coachella 2024 reunion (where they reportedly bagged $10 million) and a FireAid benefit in Los Angeles earlier this year. Their Coachella set was a time capsule of California cool—equal parts punk grit and pop shimmer—with Stefani leading the crowd like it was 1996 again.

The Sphere, with its 160,000-square-foot LED dreamscape and mind-bending acoustics, is now set to host that same energy—but bigger, louder, and flashier than ever.


Independent Women, Loud Guitars, and One Request…

Stefani’s Sphere takeover also feels symbolic: the first woman to headline the venue was once the lone woman in a male-dominated ska band. She’s spent decades balancing swagger with sensitivity, from “Just a Girl” to “Hollaback Girl”—and now she’s doing it in the most advanced concert space on Earth.

And since it’s Vegas, let’s say it plainly: they better bring out Bounty Killer. Their 2001 hit “Hey Baby” remains one of the their biggest reggae-dancehall crossovers in pop history—and a surprise appearance from the Warlord himself would send The Sphere into orbit.


No Doubt, No Limits

For now, only six shows are confirmed—but if No Doubt’s reunion energy and Stefani’s star power are any indication, expect more dates (and maybe more collabs) to follow.

From Tragic Kingdom to The Sphere, it’s been a wild, glitter-streaked ride for the Anaheim legends. And when those opening chords of “Spiderwebs” echo through The Sphere’s speakers next summer, one thing will be certain:
