Gwen Stefani brought out Olivia Rodrigo as a surprise guest during No Doubt’s reunion performance at Coachella on Saturday night.

The band’s performance was one of the most highly anticipated of the weekend ,as it saw Gwen return to the stage with No Doubt 23 years after she left the band to set off on her solo career.

The chemistry that had existed between Gwen and her bandmates Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young in the 1990s was still on display.
The setlist also included performances of their songs Hella Good, Sunday Morning, Ex-Girlfriend, It’s My Life, Different People, Hey Baby, Total Hate ‘95, One Step Beyond and Simple Kind of Life.
According to KROQ, No Doubt made sure to keep their dedicated fans happy with renditions of fan favourites Underneath It All, Happy Now?, New, Just A Girl, Don’t Speak and Spiderwebs.
Their reunion was announced earlier this year, after Gwen teased the news by sharing a video of a Zoom call with her bandmates.
Speaking to People about what fans can expect from their reunion, Gwen said: “It’s just going to be cool.”
“It’s just going to be: get up there and do what we always do, which is play our music and try to connect and be so grateful that we got this amazing career that we never expected to have.”
She added: “You’ve got to remember; we were in No Doubt for nine years before ‘Just a Girl ‘ got on the radio. We weren’t doing it to make it.”
“And so now to be here in 2024 and have that excitement of the announcement? It’s beyond.”
