Gwen Stefani Interview

What started as a 6 night residency at Las Vegas' instantly iconic venue, The Sphere, has quickly transformed into 18 nights of No Doubt, back for a career-spanning, nostalgia-filled show you won't want to miss in 2026. Gwen Stefani recently stopped by our studio in Los Angeles to talk about her gratitude for the upcoming residency, her new Christmas song, and more with Kevin Ryder. "Just when you think you can't, you know, the snow globe has settled and there's no more sparkle, they're like, 'hey, you wanna write a song for a Christmas movie?' I'm like, 'yeah,' and then they're like, 'hey, you wanna play at The Sphere?' These things just come out of nowhere and I think that's my favorite is when you don't know what's gonna happen," shares Stefani. "All of a sudden you just feel alive again. You feel like you have a purpose and you feel like you want to use that gift that you have and share it, and you just never know when it's gonna end so... It gets more intense. You get more nervous. You get more grateful, and yeah, here we are." As the No Doubt team starts to build a show for The Sphere, Gwen looked back on when the band first reunited for Coachella and the path that led to this residency. "I think 2 years ago when we finally, you know, got on the same page, me and the boys to actually even be in a room together and hang out and it's not like anything bad had happened, it's just sort of like we grew and everybody had families, everybody had their own projects," remembers Stefani. "We grew apart and it's weird because you would think back to the childhood part of us and think that could never even happen because we were just so entwined, but then time goes so fast when time is in the future and next thing you know, we decided to do Coachella." "I think we were wanting to do something else together but everything felt like a want want, compared to that, it needed to be comparable or why do it, especially creatively," she adds. "So anyways, The Sphere came out of nowhere." To hear more about the upcoming run of shows for No Doubt at The Sphere and her new Christmas song, check out the full interview above.
