Fil-Am Olivia Rodrigo joins Gwen Stefani, No Doubt for historic Coachella performance
BORACAY, Philippines — The first weekend of the 2024 Coachella Music and Arts Festival was full of surprise performers which had the Indio, California crowd even more stunned and excited.
Award-winning Filipino-American singer Olivia Rodrigo made her Coachella debut when she joined Gwen Stefani and her former rock band No Doubt, also making its Coachella debut.
It was the first time No Doubt performed in nearly a decade and likely their only reunion as of now. The Coachella lineup included Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal, and percussionist Adrian Young.
During the eighth song of No Doubt's set, "Bathwater," Rodrigo joined the band wearing a white tank top that read "I *heart* ND" and took turns with Stefani singing verses.
After the performance where Stefani called Rodrigo her "little vampire" after the latter's recent hit single, Rodrigo stuck around in the audience to see No Doubt finish off their set.
Other songs the group performed were "Don't Speak," "Sunday Morning," "Spiderwebs," and some deep cuts that hardcore fans definitely enjoyed hearing live again.
