The song “Just a Girl” played in the background of the clip while Stefani showed off artwork she created for “The Beacon Street Collection,” the band’s second album, which helped them achieve commercial success. After the trip down memory lane, I texted Kanal, and they undoubtedly coordinated a virtual reunion.
“We should do the show!” Kanal said to his bandmates during the call. They all happily agreed.
Shortly after the teaser video was published, the meeting location was revealed: “We will see you in the desert this April!!!” The band posted on social media along with a featured Coachella poster of the performers.
Fans haven’t seen the group on stage together since 2015, when the bandmates performed at several music festivals, such as Rock in Rio in Las Vegas and Riot Fest in Chicago. No Doubt’s last album “Push and Shove” was released in 2012.
No Doubt was formed in Anaheim, California, in 1986. While the group’s self-titled debut album did not gain much popularity, the band’s third album, “Tragic Kingdom” — which featured “Excuse Me Mr.” and “Spiderwebs” – became a huge hit, sparking a wave of mainstream ska punk in the mid-1990s.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the No Doubt awards kept coming. The band has won two Grammy Awards for the songs “Underneath It All” and “Hey Baby,” as well as five MTV Video Music Awards and a Billboard Music Video Award.
Since then, Stefani has forged a career as a solo artist in the electropop and R&B genres, releasing songs such as “Hollaback Girl” and “The Sweet Escape,” and serving as a judge on “The Voice.” Kanal, Young and Dumont formed a new wave group called Dreamcar with AFI lead singer Davey Havok.
Coachella has announced the names of Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat and Tyler as the creators of this year’s music festival, which will take place April 12-14 and April 19-21. Other artists scheduled to take the stage are Peso Pluma, Ice Spice, Jhené Aiko and British rock band Blur.
