No Doubt began their residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas on May 7, 2026, with an opening performance that featured several rarities from the band’s catalog.
The kickoff show included the band’s first Tragic Kingdom
performance since 2009, according to reporting from Rolling Stone.
The inclusion of these specific materials marks a significant return to the repertoire of the group, which consists of Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Adrian Young.
The 1995 album Tragic Kingdom served as the band’s commercial breakthrough, producing a series of hit singles that established No Doubt as a leading act in the mid-1990s alternative and ska-punk scenes.
The absence of these performances since 2009 indicates a curated approach to the setlist for the new residency, prioritizing songs and arrangements that had not been presented live for over 16 years.
The residency takes place at The Sphere, a venue known for its massive LED exterior and immersive interior screen that wraps around the audience, providing high-resolution visual accompaniment to live performances.
No Doubt has a history of periodic activity, alternating between solo projects—most notably the solo career of Gwen Stefani—and full-band reunions and tours.
The May 7, 2026, event serves as the start of the band’s scheduled tenure at the venue.
