A Legendary Career Spanning Three Decades

The band last performed an extended run in Los Angeles during their “Seven Night Stand” in 2012. They reunited for Coachella in 2024 and performed at FIREAID earlier this year. Each performance built momentum for their Sphere announcement.

Their ska-punk style evolved into pop perfection. Gwen Stefani became a solo star, but the group’s chemistry remained magical. No Doubt’s legacy spans over three decades of hits, making this residency a must-see event for both longtime fans and new audiences.

Sphere’s immersive technology creates possibilities never before available to live performers. No Doubt’s creative ambitions match perfectly with the venue’s capabilities. Their catalog’s visual potential finally gets full realization. The combination elevates both the artists and the venue into unprecedented territory.
