No Doubt Announces Epic 2026 Residency at Las Vegas Sphere

Las Vegas, NV - Get ready to go "Hella Good" crazy, because No Doubt is officially taking over Las Vegas. The iconic Southern California ska-punk band has just announced a landmark residency at the technologically immersive Sphere for May 2026. This marks the band's first extended run of shows in 14 years, promising a visually stunning and nostalgic journey through their chart-topping hits.

The six-night engagement, titled "No Doubt Live @SphereVegas," is set to electrify audiences on May 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, and 16, 2026. The announcement, which fittingly dropped on the 30th anniversary of their diamond-certified album Tragic Kingdom, has sent waves of excitement through the music world, following their highly anticipated reunion at Coachella in 2024.

Frontwoman Gwen Stefani, who will become the first female headliner at the groundbreaking venue, expressed her excitement about the unique possibilities the Sphere offers. "The opportunity to create a show at Sphere excites me in a new way," Stefani said in a statement. "The venue is unique and modern and it opens up a whole new visual palette for us to be creative. Doing it with No Doubt feels like going back in time to relive our history, while also creating something new in a way we never could have imagined."

Fans can anticipate a high-energy spectacle, combining the raw, infectious energy of a classic No Doubt show with the jaw-dropping, state-of-the-art visuals that have made the Sphere a global phenomenon. Imagine the vibrant, checkerboard aesthetic of their ska roots and the colorful angst of the 90s exploding across the venue's massive LED screen.

Bassist Tony Kanal shared his enthusiasm, stating, "There is a beautiful energy that happens when we play together, an electricity I have felt through all of our years. To be able to leave it all on the table each night and take our fans on the insane journey that is Sphere is beyond our wildest dreams."

This residency represents a monumental moment for the band—Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont, and drummer Adrian Young—who have remained connected by what Dumont calls a "lifelong friendship." It's a special opportunity for fans old and new to experience the magic of their genre-bending sound in a truly unprecedented setting.

Presale tickets will be available for fans who sign up on the band's website, with general ticket sales starting Friday, October 17th.

What is No Doubt famous for?

No Doubt is famous for its unique fusion of ska, punk, reggae, and new wave music that dominated the charts in the 1990s and 2000s. The band is best known for their breakthrough 1995 album, Tragic Kingdom, which sold over 16 million copies worldwide and is certified diamond in the U.S.
