Gwen Stefani in November 2024There's no doubt Gwen Stefani had a great time at Coachella in 2024.
The "Hollaback Girl" singer told the U.K. magazine HELLO! about the band No Doubt getting back together for Coachella for the first time since 2015.
"Performing at Coachella and feeling all that love for us after all this time was kind of overwhelming," Stefani, 55, said as per BANG. "We hadn't done anything together for so long, so to do that and be there for each other, with all of our families, meant so much to me."
"It had been so long but it was as if we had never been apart," the singer continued, adding that she still feels "incredibly lucky."

Stefani told Rolling Stonein 2016 a reunion with the band was unlikely because everyone had "grown apart as far as what kind of music we want to make."
"I was really drained and burned out when we recorded [2012's Push and Shove]," The Voice coach added. "And I had a lot of guilt: 'I have to do it.' That's not the right setting to make music."
No Doubt formed in 1986 and released six albums throughout their time together, with their most recent in 2012.

No Doubt performs at Coachella in April 2024Stefani exclusively told PEOPLE about the No Doubt reunion in January months before the band took the stage at Coachella. "It just happened so fast, and that's my favorite kind of thing to happen. We haven't really figured out the next steps of how we're going to do this, but we're just all so excited," she said at the time.
"And I think really just watching the internet blow up [with] how excited that the fans are? It's inspiring us."
