Gwen, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young shared a fun Zoom call video announcing the reunion news on social media an hour before Coachella’s line-up dropped.
The rock band last performed together nearly 10 years ago in 2015.
No Doubt formed in 1986 in Anaheim, California but did not release their eponymous debut album until 1992.
It was founded by Gwen’s brother Eric Stefani, who played keyboard, and the late John Spence, who was the band’s original lead vocalist.
Meanwhile, Gwen originally provided background vocals. She did not become the band’s frontwoman until Spence’s replacement Alan Meade left in 1987.
Kanal replaced bassist Chris Leal early on but it was not until 1988 that Dumont replaced guitarist Jerry McMahon and Young replaced drummer Chris Webb. Eric left the band in 1994.
It was the group’s third studio album Tragic Kingdom (1995) and the lead single Just A Girl that helped them achieve mainstream success.

After five albums and two Grammys, No Doubt shocked fans when they went on their first hiatus in 2004.
Gwen released her debut solo Love. Angel. Music. Baby. — which catapulted her to pop superstardom.
She went on to release three more albums, with her most recent being the holiday mix You Make It Feel Like Christmas (2017).
Over her decades-long career, Gwen has sold more than 60million records worldwide. She is a three-time Grammy winner with a total of 18 nominations.
She left her mark on the fashion work by launching L.A.M.B. in 2003 and recently entered the beauty game with the launch of her makeup line GXVE at Sephora.
After eight years apart, Gwen reunited with Tom, Tony and Adrian to record their sixth and most recent studio album Push and Shove (2012).
As a group, No Doubt has sold over 33m records.
