After a 12-year hiatus, No Doubt made a remarkable comeback at Coachella 2024, captivating the audience with their invigorating performance. Despite their long absence, the band, led by the iconic Gwen Stefani, demonstrated that they still possess the same energy and charisma that propelled them to fame over three decades ago.

Performing an 80-minute set, No Doubt showcased their ska-infused sound with vigor and passion, defying any notions of nostalgia. Stefani’s flawless vocals and magnetic stage presence were complemented by the exceptional musicianship of Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Adrian Young. Together, they breathed new life into their beloved hits, including “Hella Good,” “Ex-Girlfriend,” “It’s My Life,” and “Don’t Speak.”

No Doubt’s deep connection and chemistry were evident throughout the performance, enhancing the songs with renewed energy. The band embraced their ska aesthetic, complete with plaid fashion, dance moves, and horn sections, transporting the audience back to their early days in Anaheim, California.

Surprisingly, the band omitted songs from their latest album, “Push and Shove,” but they compensated with deeper cuts like “Different People” and “Happy Now?” The crowd’s enthusiastic response, including a duet with Olivia Rodrigo on “Bathwater,” demonstrated that No Doubt’s relevance transcends generations.

Stefani expressed her astonishment at the massive turnout, acknowledging that No Doubt might be considered a nostalgic act for the younger attendees. However, the band’s performance proved that they are anything but outdated. Their genuine enjoyment and effortless energy resonated with the audience, making it clear that they were having as much fun as the fans.

Notably, Stefani performed 10 push-ups before launching into the feminist anthem “Just a Girl,” which has recently experienced a resurgence on TikTok. She passionately stated that the song might be more relevant now than ever, highlighting No Doubt’s enduring impact and ability to connect with contemporary issues.

Overall, No Doubt’s Coachella performance felt like a triumphant return to form, leaving fans eager for more. The roaring applause and enthusiastic participation suggest that the band may be embarking on a larger tour in the near future. Their Coachella set served as a powerful reminder that No Doubt’s rock steady vibes continue to resonate with audiences, solidifying their status as timeless icons of the music industry.
