Gwen Stefani Reveals the Future of No Doubt After Coachella Reunion

No Doubt is finally reuniting at Coachella this month, and thus far, fans were hoping for more from the Gwen Stefani-fronted band.

However, the singer revealed in a new cover story with Nylon that, while she’s “open to anything,” the group doesn’t currently have any plans to create music after Coachella. “[Coachella is] going to be a really nice bow to tie on the relationship, because we were kids [when we met],” she said. “I already know what it’s going to feel like because we’re just so in sync when we’re onstage. It’s going to feel like riding a bike again. We’re going to be laughing, and we’re going to look at each other and go, ‘Oh my gosh — there you are.’”

She added that the band hasn’t “really hung out or done anything” together ahead of the set, and aren’t in frequent communication. When asked if they’ve gone to therapy together, Stefani said, “No, no, we need to, probably. But we have a lot of water under the bridge.”

After going on what sounded like a permanent hiatus in 2013, the singer will be reuniting with longtime bandmates bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young for this year’s Coachella festival in April.

We’ll see you in the desert this April!!!,” read a statement on No Doubt’s social accounts last week announcing the Coachella gig alongside a stacked roster featuring Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator and Doja Cat as headliners, along with Peso Pluma, Lil Uzi Vert, Blur, Ice Spice, J Balvin, Jhené Aiko and more.
