Olivia Rodrigo Joins No Doubt for Epic Coachella Reunion Performance

No Doubt finally reunited for a highly anticipated performance at the Coachella music festival over the weekend. They managed to connect with the festival's younger audience while also drawing on their '90s roots, thanks in part to a special guest appearance by Olivia Rodrigo.

The surprise appearance of the "Drivers License" singer happened on Saturday during the band's performance of their 2000 hit "Bathwater." This collaboration brought together original band members Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Adrian Young, with Rodrigo adding a fresh twist to a song that was released almost three years before she was born.

Saturday’s No Doubt performance was the first time in about ten years that Stefani, Kanal, Dumont, and Young played live together.

The setlist featured some of their most famous songs like “Sunday Morning,” “Don’t Speak,” and “Spiderwebs,” along with other fan favorites. Social media posts mentioned that old video footage from the band’s punk rock era was shown on the video screens during the performance.

Stefani had a fun moment with the Coachella crowd, getting all the boys to sing along to "I'm Just a Girl" in a lively call-and-repeat session, as seen in online videos.

No Doubt was first formed in the mid-90s and gained fame with their successful 1995 album "Tragic Kingdom," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. They performed some of their hit songs from this album at the Coachella festival.

In the early 2000s, the band members decided to work on their own projects after making several albums together. Stefani released her debut solo album "Love. Angel. Music. Baby." in 2004 and has since come out with three more solo albums.

No Doubt is scheduled to perform at Coachella again during the festival's second weekend.
