In the middle of their performance, attendees at the festival in Indio, California received a major shock when Olivia Rodrigo was invited to join in the fun. Rodrigo, 21, channeled her inner fangirl during the performance, wearing an “I [heart] ND” tank, based on the band initials.

Rodrigo and Stefani then teamed up for a rocking rendition of No Doubt’s “Bathwater.” At the end of the number they hugged each other lovingly.

She added: “I feel like wearing plaid has always been there and is a trademark of the band. I sent the band some references and we thought it would be a cool way to have something similar but have our own individual style at the same time.”

Stefani was the lead singer of No Doubt when the group formed in 1986. They took a break in 2008 before briefly reuniting shortly after. By 2013, the group had finally disbanded. No Doubt last performed together in 2015, nine years before their Coachella performance.
“That was amazing,” Stefani wrote via Instagram Story later Saturday, sharing a backstage selfie. “Thank you so much for joining @nodoubt at Coachella!!! 2024!!”
