No Doubt Rewinds Time at Sphere Residency Launch with Rare Tracks and Nostalgic Vibes
No Doubt kicked off their Las Vegas residency at the Sphere with a setlist brimming with rarities, including the first performance of 'Tragic Kingdom' since 2009, signaling a deep dive into their celebrated past.
No Doubt ignited their residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Wednesday, delivering a nostalgia-fueled performance packed with rare gems for their dedicated fans.
The band—Gwen Stefani, bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont, and drummer Adrian Young—launched the show with the title track from 1995’s Tragic Kingdom, marking its first performance since 2009. Shifting expectations, they played "Spiderwebs," typically a set-closer, early in the set, signaling a night of surprises.

The setlist blended beloved hits like “Underneath It All” and “Don’t Speak” with deep cuts such as “The Climb” (last played in 1997) and “Trapped in a Box” (from 2002). They concluded the night with the classics “Just a Girl” and “Sunday Morning.”
Meanwhile, at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Blake Shelton humorously addressed his absence from Stefani’s opening night, blaming his manager for the scheduling conflict. "She’s over there, at the other venue," he told his audience.

Prior to the residency's commencement, No Doubt hinted at a nostalgic focus. Stefani shared with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that the residency is "really for the fans," aiming to evoke a sense of nostalgia and shared memories.
In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Young confirmed their intention to revisit “both the music and the aesthetic” of Tragic Kingdom, promising a strong nostalgic element.

The show also marked Dumont’s first performance since publicly sharing his early-onset Parkinson’s disease diagnosis. Dumont affirmed his ability to continue playing music and guitar, inspired by others who have shared their health journeys publicly.
Following the initial residency announcement in October 2025, No Doubt extended their run by six dates, totaling 18 shows. The final performance is scheduled for June 13; tickets remain available.
