Gwen Stefani is gearing up for an eagerly anticipated reunion with her No Doubt bandmates at Coachella this April, but she’s facing a unique challenge: relearning their old songs.
In a candid revelation during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Stefani shared her excitement about the upcoming reunion with Tom Dumont, Tony Kanal, and Adrian Young after nearly a decade apart. However, she also admitted that she has some homework to do before they take the stage in Indio, California.
“I know it’s going to be amazing,” Stefani said. “I’m so excited, and I think what is going to be hilarious is I know what’s going to happen. I’m going to get on stage and look around and just start cracking up because it’s just going to be like riding a bike. We’re going to be like, ‘What are we doing? We’re in the future right now, we’re at Coachella.’ It’s going to be bizarre.”
Stefani’s candid admission highlights the unique challenge of returning to perform songs from their No Doubt repertoire, which includes hits like “Don’t Speak” and “Just a Girl.” Despite her excitement for the reunion, she acknowledged that she’ll need to refresh her memory on some of the band’s older tracks.
The reunion at Coachella marks a significant moment for both No Doubt and their fans, as it will be the first time the band performs together in nearly a decade. The anticipation is palpable among fans eager to see the iconic group back on stage, delivering their signature blend of rock, ska, and punk-infused sound.

With Stefani’s infectious energy and the band’s undeniable chemistry, their Coachella performance is sure to be a memorable highlight of the festival.
