Overview
- No Doubt closed their 18‑show Las Vegas Sphere residency on Saturday, June 13, with Rodrigo unexpectedly invited onstage by Gwen Stefani for the final fan hug.
- Rodrigo, who had quietly been in the crowd, hugged the band, grabbed the mic and shouted that No Doubt are “the best band in the world” before leaving the stage.
- The cameo came a day after Rodrigo released her third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which includes a recent collaboration she performed with The Cure’s Robert Smith.
- Stefani’s routine of bringing superfans onstage throughout the run made the moment possible and follows Rodrigo’s earlier guest spot with No Doubt at Coachella 2024 and multiple public tributes to the band.
- The residency was commercially strong, selling about 16,290 tickets per night and grossing roughly $3.6 million per show through the first half of the run, and the surprise cameo gives both artists fresh publicity ahead of Rodrigo’s Unraveled Tour.
