‘Meant So Much To Me’: Gwen Stefani Reflects On Her Reunion With Former Band No Doubt In Coachella 2024

by

Oh, what a thrilling rollercoaster ride 2024 has been for the musical maestro, none other than the one and only Gwen Stefani! As a fan who’s been following her journey since the days of “Just A Girl,” I can truly say that this year has been nothing short of magical. The Coachella reunion of No Doubt was not just a comeback, but a testament to the power of timeless music and enduring friendships.

2024 was truly remarkable for Gwen Stefani! In an interview with the British magazine HELLO!, the artist who brought us “Hollaback Girl” discussed her band No Doubt reuniting and making a comeback to Coachella this year after a nine-year absence.

As I took the stage at Coachella, the wave of love and support that washed over me was simply indescribable. It had been a while since my bandmates and I had performed together, but standing there with them, knowing our families were cheering us on backstage, meant more to me than words can express.

1) The performer felt like they had always been together over all these years and considered herself incredibly fortunate to be a part of something so enduring within the music scene. The band, made up of Tom Dumont on guitar, Tony Kanal on bass, and Adrian Young on drums, was the headlining act at the annual California music festival in April.

In the 90s-inspired attire, the vocalist of The Rich Girl sported a dress that resembled the trends of that era, which included torn black leggings, shortened denim pants, and a white cotton top. Additionally, Olivia Rodrigo made an unexpected appearance on stage to collaborate with Stefani in performing the popular song Bathwater from their band.

In a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, Stefani expressed doubt about a band reunion due to their diverging musical preferences, stating that they had grown apart in this aspect. She also shared her feelings of exhaustion and burnout during the recording of their 2012 album Push and Shove. At that time, she confessed to feeling a sense of guilt, commenting that she felt obligated to continue despite it not being the ideal environment for creating music.

1986 marked the formation of the band No Doubt, which disbanded in 2012 following the release of six studio albums under their label. Luckily for fans, Stefani’s statement about the band’s potential dissolution did not become a reality, and instead, a No Doubt reunion took place.

Back in January, as I chatted with People magazine, the enigmatic Don’t Speak singer and I shared an exhilarating moment. You see, she divulged that our Coachella reunion was a beautifully organic process. “Things just moved so swiftly,” she exclaimed, “and that’s precisely what gets my heart racing!” she continued. “To be truthful, we haven’t quite mapped out the sequel of this incredible event, but we’re all simply bursting with excitement!
