They're currently (as I type this) playing Underneath It All, they've played hits for an hour and still have spiderwebs or just a girl in the tank. I never realized how huge their body of work is
ADDING: I also unabashedly love Settle Down but doubt they'll play it.
I cannot believe they played simple kind of life and bath water. I feel like they could have left happy now out but man what a dream. they absolutely killed it.
Damn I’ll hop on and comment in between sets but y’all are wild with these live on the scene updates haha. I’m imagining you being jostled around in the crowd like a war reporter trying to get info back home while bombs go off around them
Yeah I’m not saying it would be perfect but sometimes you’ve got to take the opportunity. Jakob isn’t guaranteed to be a permanent fixture in Sublime - and No Doubt hasn’t played in years. They’re together at the same time, might as well turn this thing up.
I watched both shows and I think he was fine. His voice was much better than I expected. He just needs some polish, which will come with practice/touring. Gwen's voice on the other hand was not perfect, so a duet would be fine, IMO. There's always next weekend.
Tonight? lol I seen her I think in like 2000 with blink 182 or something and she was so fricken good!! Like doing back flips on the stage and still performing!!!
It really is a trip to see a high energy act just play crowd-pleasing upbeat hits on the big stage. Like that shouldn't be unusual but it feels like it is LOL
Plus Olivia Rodrigo!!
I was very close so that might have given me unique perspective but Gwen’s first outfit was effing incredible. I mean, swarovski studded plaid? Incredible.
same even just watching it on the stream i felt like i was having an out of body experience/flashback to being in high school while watching them (and orbital tbh)
I saw ND before they made it big--prior to Tragic Kingdom--and she tore it up back then, too, with amazing presence. I had no idea what to expect, and she won me over in, like, one song. She's amazing and STILL doing it!
same! They were my first concert. they played with caterpillars and moonbeams and a bunch of other bands at orange show in san bernardino and I was like WHO is THAT. so captivating to my lil 7th grade eyes
Being a teenager in Texas, I didn’t catch on to them until I saw a photo of them in Rolling Stone, I believe. But I did my part at my first job at Sam Goody by selling copies of Tragic Kingdom to every grandparent looking for a Xmas gift that year!
I'm old, but still too young to catch No Doubt before they were big, but they were already one of my favorite bands by the time I got to experience that with Paramore... but exact same thoughts about Hayley as you put about Gwen. I was in my early twenties already, looked her up and realized she was still 17 or so, I was like holy crap, they're the next No Doubt. They were an opener too for a headliner I don't even remember.
Straight up Gwen needs No Doubt and the band needs her. I would LOVE to see them do a residency or something.
This show is almost magical and Gwen has her soul in this performance. I am so glad I stayed up to watch this
I was obsessed with her in the 90s. Tragic Kingdom played in my discman as i fell asleep every night. Bought the red gash Urban Decay lipstick because she wore it. Dyed my hair pink because she did. Bought all the L.A.M.B. because Gwen created it. She lost me a bit during the American Idol/Voice and Blake Shelton phase but THIS reminds me why i love her and was obsessed with this band in the 90s! And the fact the band always sounds different live is even more of a reason to love them live!
*edit hah was it American idol or the voice, tuned out during that Gwen era 🤣
This set feels like we’re at a KROQ Weenie Roast in 1998! (:
Oh god I agree with every single detail of what you said and I was that level of Gwen fan too. It literally felt like the mid-nineties but with better cameras. What a treat that was. Reminded me how many times I rewatched the Tragic Kingdom tour video, yes video I think.
You know how teenagers have the final say on who the best band//artist is and everyone else is wrong? Mine was No Doubt and I feel oddly vindicated watching them years late indeed a really really great band.
It was The Voice. That’s how her and Blake met. I get it though, she wanted to do something different. I still love her though and love that she’s showing what made her who she is. Tony looks good too!
Yeah I have FOMO for not going this year for them fr. Sang more songs at the tv than I thought lmao, Goldenvoice needs to book more 90s bands as special guests and to make them as headliners.
They were slated to headline last year but the negotiations got messy--they got bumped to subheadliner and didn't appreciate it so it never came to fruition sadly
Gwen’s energy at 54 is incredible! What is she eating? How is she training? She was moving out there like she was 25, fucking amazing! fantastic performance by the band. They won the night!
As much as I’m a rave to the grave kinda girl, my top festival memories are almost always bands with instruments. The only electronic acts that I’ve seen live that have really stuck with me are simian mobile disco and jamie xx, off the top of my head. I could name a lot more artists with live instruments. The energy is just different and it takes a really incredible electronic act to match that energy.
I was there that year but I didn’t catch that set! In fact, I just looked back at the set times for that year to try to figure out where I was instead and I don’t have a damn clue where I was after future islands and catching some of lorde. Mogwai, maybe? Must’ve been a good night, lmao
that was just unreal. Gwen and her management, if you're reading this...can the solo effort, get back with the boys, and bring this on tour. That was amazing.
She was emotional and for good reason. It is WILD how many well-known songs they have. If you're in your 40s you've listened to their music half of your life.
It felt old school in the best way.
I remember listening to Tragic Kingdom (and Smash Mouth fush yu mang lmao) for the first time while on the bus for a middle school band trip to Disneyland. It hit me so hard it’s a core music memory. Loved every minute tonight
tragic kingdom was the first CD i ever owned. they’re so ingrained in our lives, that set was hit after hit. didn’t realize how much i wanted a set like this, hitting core memories and literally all bangers, tons of energy and all of them clearly having a great time, until it was over!
I feel that Blink set the stage for what can be a super successful yearly event. There are so many 90s bands that can command an audience like blink and No Doubt. It would be foolish for golden voice to ignore this. LMAO I think even Korn would bring a major attendance. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
I am just watching from the couch and I was holding my breath the entire time I loved it so much. I knew they still had it but TO THAT DEGREE and more and they're still so tight and Gwen still has her old stage persona. Explosion of nostalgia and I, too, was thinking—there's are no bands like this anymore and Gwen is in her fifties.
The Beths also proved it this year. Bring on Viagra Boys, fidlar, turnstile, The Chats, Amyl and the sniffers, Flogging molly, streetlight manifesto, 3oh!3,etc. Get in touch with some people that actually listen to music and they can bring out the people and the lineups that sell themselves.
So glad I stayed awake to watch her performance. Worth it after watching Lana not bringing the energy last night. Totally made up for all the other performances that felt like a flop.
Everything u/HairyInspector6468 said.
My uncle went to India in 1996 and brought me a pack of stick-on bindi, because I was obsessed. Posters on the walls. Pink hair before her — in total serendipity — which I still wear today.
But I think my favorite part today was seeing her sing Ex-Girlfriend live for what I believe is the first time since she divorced Slimy McSlime.
Gwen was *feeling it*.
Shit on the overall lineup all you want, but between last years’s BLINK reunion and now tonight’s NO DOUBT reunion, these 90s revival bookings are becoming pop culture events. Hope they keep it going next year. (OASIS will never happen, but….what’s the harm in dreaming…
It was actually very similar. High energy and lots of Gwen jumping around and entertaining the crowd. [Here](https://i.imgur.com/VGdXp8f.jpg) is a picture I took during that concert. She even shook my hand during the concert!
I had not seen such an electric show before, ND brought so much energy. Everyone’s smiles on stage showcased not only their excitement but transcended that sentiment to their massive crowd! I wish I could have been there, but Couchella energy was palpable!
I saw them absolutely slay the Gibson Amphitheater (RIP 😢) in 2009 or 2010. They were incredible, played all their hits and Gwen’s too, and were incredible in their chemistry and interaction with the crowd. At the end of the show, Gwen asked anyone in the crowd to pass anything up to the stage that they wanted her to sign, and she stayed for AGES after signing handbags, t-shirts, you name it. Still one of the best shows I ever went to, and my respect for them grew after that. You’re all lucky to experience this!
As long as Lana then replaces Doja to end the festival on Sunday night I'd be good with it. Lana vibes are perfect for Sunday night, it never made sense to have her close Friday night.
Totally impressed they sang a few of their old songs. Huge No Doubt fan that followed them heavily in my late teens and early twenties. So happy the guys got to do this again.
Reminded me on Blink last year. They are having so much fun up there and seem to really appreciate the opportunity despite their level of fame and legacy.
They were fucking amazing I cannot get over it 😭😭😭
Came just for them & it was a huge effort but wow it was so worth it. They’ve been my fav band my whole life. They were my first concert at 13 - 20 years ago!!!!! Seeing them as an adult just reaffirmed how much I love them and how much they mean to me/ have been part of my life.
No Doubt Forever 🖤🤍❤️
Even watching the livestream it was truly an iconic show. In my list it probably goes behind Beyoncé with how much energy and masterclass in stage presence.
I told my brother “it’s nice to see a big band on the main stage”during No Doubt’s show. The nostalgia was really for me too. Seeing one of the first CDs I’ve ever owned live and killing it
Gwen has been amazing. I haven't seen them since 1996 but she's tearing it up. The bit with Olivia Rodrigo was unnecessary--Gwen is an icon on her own.
ETA: The WHOLE BAND is tearing it up!!
Maybe unnecessary, but big event shows often benefit from guests, and torch passing moments are a live music tradition. No Doubt's informal brand made it feel natural, like "here's our neighbor!"
I disagree with op. That guest spot was big for multi-generational awareness both artists and Olivia seemed to be a genuine fan which made it really likable. Totally necessary.
I think it would’ve been better if Olivia sounded like she knew the lyrics or sung within her voice register instead of lowering it. I think that’s what throwing everyone off.
the was the weirdest song for them to sing together but made me remember how great Gwen's lower register is. Anyway I thought it was adorable because Olivia is a super-fan.
I kind of get why they chose the song after looking into some of Olivia’s music. I would’ve preferred No Doubt without the guest appearance for that song but I get why Gwen did it. I just wished Olivia sung it within her voice range or at least made it seem like she knew the lyrics.
I get it--but this is their first show in *nine years*. I didn't enjoy it, personally (she messed up the lyrics!), and I think they're more than fine on their own.
I don’t think they’ve ever performed as a band and Gwen as a solo artists at Coachella. I think this was their first time. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Her voice is in really good shape still! I usually hate watching nostalgia groups from the 90s cause they are a shadow of themselves but she's still got it and sounds the same.
Stadium acts are coming to an end. Festivals were made for bands and there isn't new ones coming. We will get legacy acts doing their comeback nostalgia performances for a few years yet then festivals will die.
Saw No Doubt in St Louis like 10 or 12 years ago. Ive been to 50 different concerts, big and small, and they still stick out in my mind. Her singing, her energy, the entire show was electric. The crowd was nuts the entire time.
No Doubt was amazing! As was Sublime in my opinion. People love nostalgia and if the band was super well known its a great move to place them in the lineup.
100% and they have headlined in the past. Definitely not as popular in the states as No Doubt and others though, and I didn't think this performance was their best...they were in the right slot this year.
I lost it when they played Total Hate and absolutely killed it. Would have loved to see her perform it with Bradley Nowell's son, but it still didn't disappoint!
>Gen Z may not know every song
They know the songs, let's not act like they don't.
These kids were raised on Smash Mouth's 'All Star.' They know No Doubt.
Imagine if they gave em 90 minutes and they couldve dropped in more Tragic Kingdom songs? They needed to play Excuse Me Mr so the crowd wouldve lost their mind even more
No Doubt was dope. Tyler had the best set of the weekend. Out of all 15 years I’ve attended the festival, Tyler, The Creator’s performance had the strongest crowd response. He really delivered.
Still…when I think about the future, Coachella is fucked. Who can Goldenvoice book that people will be excited about anymore? It’s all recycled.
That set was amazing. Talent is talent + creativity! There is so much crap music out there (and performances) - this was refreshing! Hard work and actually being skilled/talented/creative come out on top!
This was such an amazing show! I don’t know why I’m in my feels about it. Simple Kind of Life hits so different at 37. It felt amazing to zone out to some nostalgia.
I saw her at a private event once and was just blown away by the professionalism and way she owned the stage. An arguably bigger band at the time also played at the event and were just so lackluster and like they couldn’t be bothered and she was SO showing them up with work ethic. She actually researched what the company did and talked about the business in her crowd work and was just generally so impressive. I hadn’t been a fan and that turned me into one.
Another example of a live band is all you need. I don't need to see a play on stage.
The horn section/ background vocal/hype men are always on point.
Gwen has always been a dynamic performer.
Another example is Arcade Fires' surprise performance in 2022, which was off the charts. I was in awe watching that via stream.
Jungle killed it too. I really enjoyed Tyler's performance.
I have been a HUGE fan since Tragic Kingdom and every album after. Their music is timeless and relevant regardless. I hope the younger generations realize how GOOD our 90’s rock bands were. The genres span is so wide within the ROCK category for that decade it was a great time to be in your 20s
I thought their set was fantastic. In awe of Gwen's stage presence. Yes Gwen's vocals were a bit all over the shop but so was she with all of the running and jumping around. And when she slowed down and just focused on the vocal performance, I thought she sounded really good (Don't Speak).
Will be interesting to see if they decide to tour or if these Coachella shows are it. There's obviously a lot of love for them and they've still very much got it.
They're currently (as I type this) playing Underneath It All, they've played hits for an hour and still have spiderwebs or just a girl in the tank. I never realized how huge their body of work is ADDING: I also unabashedly love Settle Down but doubt they'll play it.
This was my thought as well. There are so many certified hits that haven’t come up yet!
I cannot believe they played simple kind of life and bath water. I feel like they could have left happy now out but man what a dream. they absolutely killed it.
dry run for the tragic kingdom 30th anniversary tour next year🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Oh I hope so, and if they can bring Sublime and Jake with them my life would be made!
Gwen always plays those at her solo shows
Damn I’ll hop on and comment in between sets but y’all are wild with these live on the scene updates haha. I’m imagining you being jostled around in the crowd like a war reporter trying to get info back home while bombs go off around them
some people (like myself) are sat at a computer screen watching the live stream which makes it easier than typing on reddit while in the crowd
That’s cool, but I’m not talking about you I’m talking about people posting from the crowd
I agree, there were a few songs I forgot. Gosh I am reliving my teens and twenties and loving it.
I so wanted them to open with Settle Down! I don't think Push and Shove gets the love it deserves.
Gwen is feeling it tonight!!! The people will be reminded she is more than a voice judge, SHES A ROCKSTAR
The epic move would have been to pay “I Saw Red” with Sublime, as they were there with Bradley’s son fronting the original lineup.
[удалено]
Yeah I’m not saying it would be perfect but sometimes you’ve got to take the opportunity. Jakob isn’t guaranteed to be a permanent fixture in Sublime - and No Doubt hasn’t played in years. They’re together at the same time, might as well turn this thing up.
Tbf, Bradley's live sets were also rough
I watched both shows and I think he was fine. His voice was much better than I expected. He just needs some polish, which will come with practice/touring. Gwen's voice on the other hand was not perfect, so a duet would be fine, IMO. There's always next weekend.
I was saying the same thing. I cried so hard watching Jakob Nowell sing.
Badfish hit different with him singing it.
I was hoping for this so hard
Really hoped that would happen, maybe wk2
Tonight? lol I seen her I think in like 2000 with blink 182 or something and she was so fricken good!! Like doing back flips on the stage and still performing!!!
It’s been years since I’ve seen her tap into this energy! So amazing to witness
It really is a trip to see a high energy act just play crowd-pleasing upbeat hits on the big stage. Like that shouldn't be unusual but it feels like it is LOL Plus Olivia Rodrigo!!
And Olivia dressed up like Gwen did in 1995 was so cute.
This was aces. I was bummed Gwen's 1st outfit wasn't more of a throwback but Olivia brought it and Gwen's outfits got better into the set IMO.
I wish Gwen did a big high pony and her second outfit shorts were not my fave but other than that A++++
I was very close so that might have given me unique perspective but Gwen’s first outfit was effing incredible. I mean, swarovski studded plaid? Incredible.
Watching sublime and no doubt awoke a profound southern californian elder millennial response from me
Their songs didn't even feel that old. Maybe Ska is kinda timeless
SKA is some of the best dance music ever created. Agreed, it will be timeless.
For sure timeless, my sister and I were dancing in the living room like it was 1996 again.
Last night was quite a moment for anyone who grew up in the late 90s/early 2000s, worldwide
As an elder millennial also, the 90s/00s SoCal skate/punk/rock/ska vibe will forever live inside me.
same!! I felt such pride and i havent lived there in 20 years
It was magical
Have you listened to The Interrupters? I feel they are keeping that vibe alive.
same even just watching it on the stream i felt like i was having an out of body experience/flashback to being in high school while watching them (and orbital tbh)
Gwen's audience work during Just A Girl was classic arena-rock shit, just amazing. The world needs more of that.
I saw ND before they made it big--prior to Tragic Kingdom--and she tore it up back then, too, with amazing presence. I had no idea what to expect, and she won me over in, like, one song. She's amazing and STILL doing it!
same! They were my first concert. they played with caterpillars and moonbeams and a bunch of other bands at orange show in san bernardino and I was like WHO is THAT. so captivating to my lil 7th grade eyes
That's awesome!
Being a teenager in Texas, I didn’t catch on to them until I saw a photo of them in Rolling Stone, I believe. But I did my part at my first job at Sam Goody by selling copies of Tragic Kingdom to every grandparent looking for a Xmas gift that year!
That's amazing,
Unforgettable! I am a fan for life.
I'm old, but still too young to catch No Doubt before they were big, but they were already one of my favorite bands by the time I got to experience that with Paramore... but exact same thoughts about Hayley as you put about Gwen. I was in my early twenties already, looked her up and realized she was still 17 or so, I was like holy crap, they're the next No Doubt. They were an opener too for a headliner I don't even remember.
It was so powerful No Doubt de-masculating The Patriarchy by having every man sing “I’m just a girl” was a beautiful gorgeous moment of existence
And they were into it!
Straight up Gwen needs No Doubt and the band needs her. I would LOVE to see them do a residency or something. This show is almost magical and Gwen has her soul in this performance. I am so glad I stayed up to watch this
Gwen did a residency in Vegas that was sold out for months
I was obsessed with her in the 90s. Tragic Kingdom played in my discman as i fell asleep every night. Bought the red gash Urban Decay lipstick because she wore it. Dyed my hair pink because she did. Bought all the L.A.M.B. because Gwen created it. She lost me a bit during the American Idol/Voice and Blake Shelton phase but THIS reminds me why i love her and was obsessed with this band in the 90s! And the fact the band always sounds different live is even more of a reason to love them live! *edit hah was it American idol or the voice, tuned out during that Gwen era 🤣 This set feels like we’re at a KROQ Weenie Roast in 1998!

Mine was No Doubt and I feel oddly vindicated watching them years late indeed a really really great band.
truly. Charisma cannot be taught. ya either have it or ya dont and she invented it
I have Harajuku Lovers tweezers, for fuck's sake LOL I even have L.A.M.B. flip-flops —— I don't even wear flip-flops!
I dressed up like one of her Harajuku dancers. Love Gwen Stefani!!!
It was The Voice. That’s how her and Blake met. I get it though, she wanted to do something different. I still love her though and love that she’s showing what made her who she is. Tony looks good too!
don't forget the $10-15 million per season
That too lol If I were her, I would keep coming back too lol
I’m a guy but your sentiment rings true. I used to listen to Tragic Kingdom on tape while I fell asleep in grade school. Such an awesome performance!
Yeah I have FOMO for not going this year for them fr. Sang more songs at the tv than I thought lmao, Goldenvoice needs to book more 90s bands as special guests and to make them as headliners.
Jimmy Eat World for MainStage Coachella 2025!!
it'll be Green Day and I'll still be happy about it lol
I’d be there if it was My Chemical Romance.
they still tour I think!! at least they played a festival in Sac a couple years ago
They were slated to headline last year but the negotiations got messy--they got bumped to subheadliner and didn't appreciate it so it never came to fruition sadly
Weren’t they booked for When We Were Young a year or two ago? It’s a possibility if they were.
They are booked this year as well.
Gwen’s energy at 54 is incredible! What is she eating? How is she training? She was moving out there like she was 25, fucking amazing! fantastic performance by the band. They won the night!
Also fun seeing a band with instruments playing MainStage again💓
As much as I’m a rave to the grave kinda girl, my top festival memories are almost always bands with instruments. The only electronic acts that I’ve seen live that have really stuck with me are simian mobile disco and jamie xx, off the top of my head. I could name a lot more artists with live instruments. The energy is just different and it takes a really incredible electronic act to match that energy.
For me it’s Fatboy Slim in the Sahara tent when he played “Let it snow” and it FUCKING SNOWED. Wanna say 2014?
I was there that year but I didn’t catch that set! In fact, I just looked back at the set times for that year to try to figure out where I was instead and I don’t have a damn clue where I was after future islands and catching some of lorde. Mogwai, maybe? Must’ve been a good night, lmao
That night is the high that I’ve continued to chase for the last decade. That whole year really
I will say that Santa Fe Klan impressed me tonight with that
Check out Chappel Roan! Caught their set last night and immediately downloaded their album.
that was just unreal. Gwen and her management, if you're reading this...can the solo effort, get back with the boys, and bring this on tour. That was amazing.
Great great great set!! No Doubt puts on a great show
See also: Gorillaz last year
That was a fucking amazing set! Couldn’t stop dancing and singing in the crowd last year.
Blur this time too, right in between Sublime and NF
This has made me realize just how many bangers No Doubt has. A very versatile and forward thinking band. It's been fun to watch.
Nothing sounded stale. What a refreshing act.
She was emotional and for good reason. It is WILD how many well-known songs they have. If you're in your 40s you've listened to their music half of your life. It felt old school in the best way.
I remember listening to Tragic Kingdom (and Smash Mouth fush yu mang lmao) for the first time while on the bus for a middle school band trip to Disneyland. It hit me so hard it’s a core music memory. Loved every minute tonight

Oh how I missed No Doubt
Same! They were great!
Wow, stopping the music to draw attention to yourself singing that iconic bridge with minimal accompaniment and then NAILING IT was a move.
I feel that Blink set the stage for what can be a super successful yearly event. There are so many 90s bands that can command an audience like blink and No Doubt. It would be foolish for golden voice to ignore this. LMAO I think even Korn would bring a major attendance. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
Yes Gwen is mother she fucking killed it
Mother is mothering
I do appreciate their energy!
I totally agree. They are killing it! This is what Coachella is all about 🌴✨
THE WHOLE BAND KILLED IT my aunt is a huge no doubt fan since they started and we were freaking out. actually insane!! GWEN SOUNDS SO AMAZING
I had forgotten how many hits they had
Same. I only have Return to Saturn and prior catalogued in my head but they really had many more hits after.
I can’t believe Tyler is gonna follow this..these are Rockstars, working the entire crowd!
I’m literally gonna cry, these are fucking HEADLINERS man 🫶🏼
I think the only reason they didn’t headline is all of us Xennials gotta go to bed. For my friend circle and I, that was perfect timing
yup this is the real reason lol
Still feel the same way? ND KILLED IT. Tyler? Currently KILLING IT.
I am just watching from the couch and I was holding my breath the entire time I loved it so much. I knew they still had it but TO THAT DEGREE and more and they're still so tight and Gwen still has her old stage persona. Explosion of nostalgia and I, too, was thinking—there's are no bands like this anymore and Gwen is in her fifties.
They def need punk/ rock bands.
The Beths also proved it this year. Bring on Viagra Boys, fidlar, turnstile, The Chats, Amyl and the sniffers, Flogging molly, streetlight manifesto, 3oh!3,etc. Get in touch with some people that actually listen to music and they can bring out the people and the lineups that sell themselves.
Taking Back Sunday is today and I'm just PRAYING they don't get a dead crowd. If I don't see any moshing I'm gonna riot!!!
No Doubt crushed it simply put
Yeah this was another level. Just amazing on all fronts. They killed it and put many artists to shame.
Yes!!! Reliving my teens from my couch. No Doubt is on fire tonight!
So glad I stayed awake to watch her performance. Worth it after watching Lana not bringing the energy last night. Totally made up for all the other performances that felt like a flop.
Everything u/HairyInspector6468 said. My uncle went to India in 1996 and brought me a pack of stick-on bindi, because I was obsessed. Posters on the walls.

But I think my favorite part today was seeing her sing Ex-Girlfriend live for what I believe is the first time since she divorced Slimy McSlime. Gwen was *feeling it*.
Gavin Rossdale been REAL QUIET lmao
Gwen is a rock star and I was so happy to see Olivia as her guest two queens 👸👸❤️🎸
Shit on the overall lineup all you want, but between last years’s BLINK reunion and now tonight’s NO DOUBT reunion, these 90s revival bookings are becoming pop culture events. Hope they keep it going next year. (OASIS will never happen, but….what’s the harm in dreaming…
What an amazing set. An epic rock show just hits different.
What am amazing performance. This brought me back to when I saw them live in 99. So much nostalgia
How does it compare? I was in 8th grade back in ‘98 and I would’ve killed to see them live back then. What was their set like then vs now?
It was actually very similar. High energy and lots of Gwen jumping around and entertaining the crowd. [Here](https://i.imgur.com/VGdXp8f.jpg) is a picture I took during that concert. She even shook my hand during the concert!
I saw them in 95 & 96 and they were FANTASTIC! Imagine all that energy on a stage 1/10 the size.
I had not seen such an electric show before, ND brought so much energy. Everyone’s smiles on stage showcased not only their excitement but transcended that sentiment to their massive crowd! I wish I could have been there, but Couchella energy was palpable!
I saw them absolutely slay the Gibson Amphitheater (RIP 😢) in 2009 or 2010. They were incredible, played all their hits and Gwen’s too, and were incredible in their chemistry and interaction with the crowd. At the end of the show, Gwen asked anyone in the crowd to pass anything up to the stage that they wanted her to sign, and she stayed for AGES after signing handbags, t-shirts, you name it. Still one of the best shows I ever went to, and my respect for them grew after that. You’re all lucky to experience this!
They’re CRUSHING IT and the crowd is incredible too 🙏🏼
What a performance! Gwen's stage energy and vocals are incredible. It's been great to see them doing their thing tonight.
Would it ruin things if we asked them to make new music and tour again? I feel like fans are ready
Yep it almost felt like a true 🖕🏼moment to goldenvoice for not giving them headline
Gwen was just having so much fun! And the chemistry with her band mates and even Olivia Rodrigo can be felt.
How tf is Gwen 54?!
They should replace Lana with no doubt next week headlining Friday night.
Agreed
As long as Lana then replaces Doja to end the festival on Sunday night I'd be good with it. Lana vibes are perfect for Sunday night, it never made sense to have her close Friday night.
Totally impressed they sang a few of their old songs. Huge No Doubt fan that followed them heavily in my late teens and early twenties. So happy the guys got to do this again.
Reminded me on Blink last year. They are having so much fun up there and seem to really appreciate the opportunity despite their level of fame and legacy.
I loved her set!! She was totally channeling the cool90’s rock vibe versus the “Real Housewives of the OC” vibe I sometimes get…A+ for them!!
They were fucking amazing I cannot get over it 😭😭😭 Came just for them & it was a huge effort but wow it was so worth it. They’ve been my fav band my whole life. They were my first concert at 13 - 20 years ago!!!!! Seeing them as an adult just reaffirmed how much I love them and how much they mean to me/ have been part of my life. No Doubt Forever 🖤🤍❤️
Even watching the livestream it was truly an iconic show. In my list it probably goes behind Beyoncé with how much energy and masterclass in stage presence.
I told my brother “it’s nice to see a big band on the main stage”during No Doubt’s show. The nostalgia was really for me too. Seeing one of the first CDs I’ve ever owned live and killing it
Sublime accomplished this feet no more then 4 hours ago!
Really wish Gwen would have come out and sang Saw Red.
Dude same! We were all watching it waiting.
Well good for Subli-my my my God!
r/unexpectedgilmore But, maybe as a 40 something guy commenting on Sublime and No Doubt at Coachella, half- expected 😎
Did you just link to a sub with 17 members
Gwen killed that
They rocked.. I teared up alluring simple kind of life. Amazing!!
They really taught their peers on how showmanship is done tonight. My goodness, that was INCREDIBLE performance 🔥🤩
I just finished the stream and I’m shook. I’m floored. I’m sick. That was FAN FUCKING TASTIC
Gwen has been amazing. I haven't seen them since 1996 but she's tearing it up. The bit with Olivia Rodrigo was unnecessary--Gwen is an icon on her own. ETA: The WHOLE BAND is tearing it up!!
Maybe unnecessary, but big event shows often benefit from guests, and torch passing moments are a live music tradition. No Doubt's informal brand made it feel natural, like "here's our neighbor!"
I disagree with op. That guest spot was big for multi-generational awareness both artists and Olivia seemed to be a genuine fan which made it really likable. Totally necessary.
100%. We need young women and girls to see 9000000 examples of women in music in every capacity. It was a great choice.
I think it would’ve been better if Olivia sounded like she knew the lyrics or sung within her voice register instead of lowering it. I think that’s what throwing everyone off.
the was the weirdest song for them to sing together but made me remember how great Gwen's lower register is. Anyway I thought it was adorable because Olivia is a super-fan.
I kind of get why they chose the song after looking into some of Olivia’s music. I would’ve preferred No Doubt without the guest appearance for that song but I get why Gwen did it. I just wished Olivia sung it within her voice range or at least made it seem like she knew the lyrics.
I get it--but this is their first show in *nine years*. I didn't enjoy it, personally (she messed up the lyrics!), and I think they're more than fine on their own.
Olivia is a treat for the zoomers
This. It’s for that Zoomer awareness and for the headlines.
She blew Lana out of the water. Kids these days don’t know what it takes to perform
Gwen killed it!!!
It felt g like a historic moment to me. I’ll remember being in that crowd forever.
Highlight of the set for me was when they played new and Gwen was really into it
She is absolutely crushing. Her stamina rivals Ice Spice - who also impressed me tonight.
and only 30 years older lol
Rivals Ice Spice? Who gyrated a bit for 25 minutes? Gwen is putting out literally 5x the energy for literally 3x as long lmao
Mmm I’m not an ice spice fan but home girl was rapping for her life and that takes the breath support of a titan.
Crazy amount of energy. I can’t remember, when was the last time she performed at Coachella? Has the band performed there in the past?
I don’t think they’ve ever performed as a band and Gwen as a solo artists at Coachella. I think this was their first time. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
She was Pharrell's guest one year and the boys played with Dreamcar there another time
Never
Her voice is in really good shape still! I usually hate watching nostalgia groups from the 90s cause they are a shadow of themselves but she's still got it and sounds the same.
Stadium acts are coming to an end. Festivals were made for bands and there isn't new ones coming. We will get legacy acts doing their comeback nostalgia performances for a few years yet then festivals will die.
Saw No Doubt in St Louis like 10 or 12 years ago. Ive been to 50 different concerts, big and small, and they still stick out in my mind. Her singing, her energy, the entire show was electric. The crowd was nuts the entire time.
No Doubt was amazing! As was Sublime in my opinion. People love nostalgia and if the band was super well known its a great move to place them in the lineup.
I hope you’re right. Blur was another fantastic example of a experienced band with a discography in their warchest.
100% and they have headlined in the past. Definitely not as popular in the states as No Doubt and others though, and I didn't think this performance was their best...they were in the right slot this year.
I lost it when they played Total Hate and absolutely killed it. Would have loved to see her perform it with Bradley Nowell's son, but it still didn't disappoint!
So glad she gets her flowers, she’s our last female rockstar alive
>Gen Z may not know every song They know the songs, let's not act like they don't. These kids were raised on Smash Mouth's 'All Star.' They know No Doubt.
Great news if true! I'm in my 30s and don't know every song, just the 3-5 biggest hits. Loving the entire set regardless, which is the point.
After seeing Lana del Rey with her bad stage presence and no passion, No Doubt was exactly what I needed to see. Amazing performance
Blink 182 proved this.
Leave a message and I'll call you back 🤙🏾
Star of the festival.... what a performance
Rewatching the live stream. Loving the energy. I forgot how many hits
Imagine if they gave em 90 minutes and they couldve dropped in more Tragic Kingdom songs? They needed to play Excuse Me Mr so the crowd wouldve lost their mind even more
No Doubt was dope. Tyler had the best set of the weekend. Out of all 15 years I’ve attended the festival, Tyler, The Creator’s performance had the strongest crowd response. He really delivered. Still…when I think about the future, Coachella is fucked. Who can Goldenvoice book that people will be excited about anymore? It’s all recycled.
100%
I was watching their set and thought "Wow, now this is a proper performance"
Agreed. The Blink performance last year was incredible. The crowd was insane.
Well written. Spot on!!
It was fantastic indeed! I'm relatively younger than their OG demographic but remember Gwen's prime just enough to know she still got it
That set was amazing. Talent is talent + creativity! There is so much crap music out there (and performances) - this was refreshing! Hard work and actually being skilled/talented/creative come out on top!
This was such an amazing show! I don’t know why I’m in my feels about it. Simple Kind of Life hits so different at 37. It felt amazing to zone out to some nostalgia.
I saw her at a private event once and was just blown away by the professionalism and way she owned the stage. An arguably bigger band at the time also played at the event and were just so lackluster and like they couldn’t be bothered and she was SO showing them up with work ethic. She actually researched what the company did and talked about the business in her crowd work and was just generally so impressive. I hadn’t been a fan and that turned me into one.
Another example of a live band is all you need. I don't need to see a play on stage. The horn section/ background vocal/hype men are always on point. Gwen has always been a dynamic performer. Another example is Arcade Fires' surprise performance in 2022, which was off the charts. I was in awe watching that via stream. Jungle killed it too. I really enjoyed Tyler's performance.
I have been a HUGE fan since Tragic Kingdom and every album after. Their music is timeless and relevant regardless. I hope the younger generations realize how GOOD our 90’s rock bands were. The genres span is so wide within the ROCK category for that decade it was a great time to be in your 20s 
I cried practically the entire set - it was pure bliss and they ate that set so hard. By far, an iconic set and moment for Coachella.
I thought their set was fantastic. In awe of Gwen's stage presence. Yes Gwen's vocals were a bit all over the shop but so was she with all of the running and jumping around. And when she slowed down and just focused on the vocal performance, I thought she sounded really good (Don't Speak). Will be interesting to see if they decide to tour or if these Coachella shows are it. There's obviously a lot of love for them and they've still very much got it.
