No Doubt Reunites Once Again for Medley of Hits at FireAid Benefit Concert

It’s been almost a year since No Doubt made their long-awaited reunion at Coachella, and the Southern California natives came back together on Thursday night (Jan. 30) to perform at the FireAid benefit concert at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum.

The band took the stage about halfway through the night, where they kicked off their performance with a rendition of their enduring 1995 hit “Just a Girl.” Showing off her impressive stage presence, frontwoman Gwen Stefani led the crowd in a boys versus girls chant of the “I’m just a girl” line in the chorus. As expected, the girls won.

The three-song performance featured two more classics from 1995, “Don’t Speak” and “Spiderwebs,” both featured on the band’s third studio album, Tragic Kingdom.

Formed in 1986, No Doubt released six albums — including the nine-week Billboard 200 chart-topper Tragic Kingdom — before disbanding in the mid 2010s. As a group, the band won two Grammys and nominated for nine overall, including a nod for Tragic Kingdom in the best rock album category and a best pop performance by a duo or group with vocal nomination for “Don’t Speak.” Stefani released her debut solo album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby., in 2004.

Throughout the FireAid broadcast, those looking to donate to the victims of the devastating Los Angeles fires were urged to visit fireaidla.org. For every pledge made during the show, Connie and Steve Ballmer — owner of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and the Intuit Dome — will match it. The donations “will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation and will be distributed for short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California,” per the website.
