No Doubt made a surprise appearance at Coachella, inviting Olivia Rodrigo to join them on stage during their set. This marked the first time that No Doubt had performed together since 2015, and the first time that Rodrigo had appeared at Coachella. The collaboration came after Rodrigo had covered No Doubt’s hit “Just a Girl” during her own live shows. In a recent interview, Rodrigo had praised Gwen Stefani for her ability to evolve and explore different styles of music while remaining true to herself, calling her a true artist.
Rodrigo and Stefani traded vocals on the No Doubt song “Bathwater” during the set, delighting fans in attendance. The collaboration was a highlight of the 80-minute performance, and showcased the talent and versatility of both artists. No Doubt’s performance at Coachella has sparked speculation about whether the band will play any other shows in the future, but Stefani has solo dates planned for the spring and summer, including an appearance at the Lovers and Friends festival in Las Vegas on May 4.
The surprise appearance by No Doubt and Olivia Rodrigo follows a trend at Coachella of unexpected collaborations and guest appearances. Lana Del Rey had welcomed surprise guests Billie Eilish, Jack Antonoff, and Jon Batiste during her headlining set the previous day. These surprise performances add an element of excitement and spontaneity to the festival, keeping fans on their toes and eager to see who will join their favorite artists on stage next.
Rodrigo had just wrapped up the first North American leg of her GUTS world tour before joining No Doubt at Coachella. Her tour will resume on April 30 in Dublin, and she continues to garner critical acclaim for her songwriting and performances. Stefani, meanwhile, continues to inspire fans with her ability to push boundaries and evolve as an artist while staying true to herself. The collaboration between Rodrigo and Stefani at Coachella was a memorable moment that showcased the talent and creativity of both artists.
As fans eagerly await the next move from No Doubt and Olivia Rodrigo, the surprise appearance at Coachella has left a lasting impression. The unexpected collaboration between the two artists brought new life to a classic No Doubt song and showcased the strength of their partnership on stage.
