No Doubt — which in addition to Stefani on vocals includes guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal on bass and drummer Adrian Young — reunited for 2012’s Push and Shove, which was their first studio record in 11 years. They last performed live together in 2015.
In February, Stefani told Jimmy Kimmel the reunion with her former bandmates was “amazing.”
“It’s crazy,” Stefani said of their comeback. “I’m so excited. And I think what is gonna be hilarious is, I know what’s gonna happen, I’m gonna get onstage and look around and just start like, cracking up because it’s just gonna be like riding a bike. We’re gonna be like, ‘What are we doing? We’re in the future right now, we’re at Coachella.’ It’s gonna be bizarre.”
