“Hella Good.” Gwen Stefani and No Doubt reunited for the first time in nearly a decade at Coachella 2024, leaving several fans losing their heads over the long-awaited reunion. “It’s been nine f–king years!” the frontwoman exclaimed on stage to a roaring crowd. “I was thinking we should dust off some of the old s–t.”Rocking a sheer black and white top, Stefani, bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young took the stage to perform an 80-minute set that featured several of the band’s hits such as “Don’t Speak,” “It’s My Life,” and “Hella Good.” During the performance Stefani, 54, donned one of her iconic plaid outfits, complete with zippers, fishnets and her signature red lipstick.

Fans of the rock group were treated to an even greater surprise when Olivio Rodrigo, wearing a crop top that read “I <3 ND,” stopped by during the group’s “Bathwater” number.

Just prior to her appearance at the music festival, Rodrigo, 21, cited No Doubt as a source of inspiration for her own music. “Gwen’s ability to evolve and explore different styles of music, songwriting and aesthetic while still remaining true to herself is incredibly inspiring,” the “Vampires” singer said to Nylon. “To me, she’s a prime example of an artist who defies stereotypes and preconceived boundaries and just makes stuff that she thinks is cool.

If that’s not a true artist, I don’t know what is.”“Gwen sang about being a woman moving about this world in detail that I had never before heard put to music,” said Rodrigo. “She unapologetically sings about things ranging from wanting to make out with someone to fantasizing about having a husband and kids.
