Why Blake Shelton Missed Gwen Stefani, No Doubt’s Opening Night at Las Vegas Sphere

The 21-song launch leaned on 10 tracks from Tragic Kingdom, while quick sellouts pushed the residency to 12 shows.

  • On Wednesday, No Doubt kicked off their 18-show residency at Sphere Las Vegas with a 21-song concert centered on their 1995 breakthrough album, 'Tragic Kingdom.'
  • Originally booked for six shows, the residency expanded to 18 dates due to quick sellouts and increased demand, celebrating the band's 'Tragic Kingdom' breakthrough.
  • Band members Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young, and Tom Dumont performed 10 of the album's 14 tracks, with 'mind blowing' visuals and rarities including 'Trapped in a Box.'
  • Stefani becomes the first female headliner at the venue, joining classic rockers and dance producers who have performed at the Sphere since its September 2023 opening.
  • While their commercial peak occurred last century, the Southern California band's recent reunion success indicates fans still want to see the group, which has been making music for nearly 40 years.
