Gwen Stefani and co. concluded their 18-date run at the state-of-the-art venue last night (June 13), their first full run of shows in 14 years, and the follow-up to their reunion at Coachella 2024.

The Vegas shows come after No Doubt’s breakthrough album, Tragic Kingdom, celebrated its 30th anniversary in October. The LP proved to be the backbone of the band's Sphere set, a motif established with a pre-recorded message from Gwen Stefani that started the show.

"Vegas, you got your seatbelts on? Because I'm about to tell you a little story. Once upon a time in a land 254 miles away, where oranges grow on every tree, some kids found each other and began making some music in the shadow of the Tragic Kingdom. This is our story."
A regular spot at the shows has seen Stefani pluck out a member of the crowd and invite them onto the stage for a hug between songs, and at the final show, her eye fell on a sign at the front of the audience that read: “I’m just a girl who wants the last hug at the last Sphere show”.
Stefani pointed at the sign and asked the individual to “get up here right now”, and when she made it onto the stage, it was revealed to be Rodrigo.
“Is that Olivia Rodrigo?” Stefani asked. “Oh my gosh, give it up for Olivia Rodrigo! She has a new record that just came out.”
They hugged, Rodrigo leapt up and down in excitement, and then grabbed the mic. “No Doubt best band in the world!” she exclaimed. “I love you so much!” After she bounded off stage, Stefani quipped to the crowd: “That was really her”.
