No Doubt hails from Anaheim, California, formed in 1986. The band emerged from the Southern California ska scene and achieved major success in the mid-1990s with their blend of ska, punk, and pop influences. Their breakthrough album, Tragic Kingdom (1995), which included hits such as “Just a Girl” and “Don’t Speak,” propelled them to international fame. This album helped spark a revival in interest in ska music during the 1990s. Over their career, No Doubt has released several albums, including Return of Saturn (2000), Rock Steady (2001), and Push and Shove (2012). The band has won two Grammy Awards among numerous nominations and has sold over 33 million records worldwide, making them one of the most successful ska-influenced bands of all time. The classic lineup of Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Adrian Young reunited in 2024 and returned for an 18-show residency at Sphere in Las Vegas in 2026.
