Gwen Stefani brings Olivia Rodrigo onstage during No Doubt reunion and Ice Spice flashes the flesh in VERY high-cut jumpsuit during rollicking night two of Coachella
Gwen Stefani electrified the crowd when she took the stage at the Coachella music festival Saturday night for a reunion with her star-making band No Doubt.
Night two of the annual extravaganza had Tyler the Creator booked as a headliner, but a glittering array of performers warmed the crowd up before his set.
One of the most hotly anticipated performances was by No Doubt, whose lead singer Gwen has returned to the stage with them 23 years after she left the band to set off on a solo career.
When she joined up with her old bandmates Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young this Saturday night, the chemistry that had existed between them in the 1990s was still on display.
Their setlist included a string of old No Doubt favorites, such as their 2000 number Bathwater – during which they treated the audience to a surprise appearance by Olivia Rodrigo.

Her billowy tartan trousers were an unmistakably boho chic patchwork, full of holes that allowed her to show off her statuesque dancer’s legs in a set of mesh hose.

Meanwhile, Ice Spice was a riveting presence as she flashed the flesh in a sensationally revealing lace jumpsuit.
Her outfit featured flesh-flashing slits that ran all the way up both sides, so that the outfit was held together by a set of slender strings.
The plunging little number featured peekaboo sections that flashed her cleavage and emphasized her hourglass figure as she strode confidently across the stage.

Taylor Swift and her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce could be glimpsed at the second night of the music festival watching her longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff.
Although she skipped the first night of Coachella, where Lana Del Rey delivered a viral performance, Taylor was on hand for night two.
She and Travis could be seen paying rapt attention to Jack, who has worked on songs not only with Taylor but with Lana as well.
That night he was singing his own material, accompanying himself on the guitar while he performed with his band Bleachers.
Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend Grimes performed a DJ set that went dramatically off the rails after she suffered a ‘major technical error’ in which her tracks began playing at double tempo.
She attempted to fix the problem but explained that she was ‘not good enough at math for this s***,’ begging the audience not to ‘judge me for being bad a calculating things’ and saying the mix-up was not ‘actually my fault.’
As her performance spiraled out of control, Grimes attempted to salvage the situation by playing some unreleased tracks, but ultimately wound up leaving the stage early, according to Variety.
The 1990s British rock band blur were among the dazzling lineup this Saturday night, with dashing frontman Damon Albarn decked out in a swank white suit over a black top.

The annual Coachella Music and Arts Festival officially kicked off its first weekend on Friday, April 12 and will come to an end on Sunday, April 14. Weekend two will then begin on April 19 and conclude on Sunday, April 21.
The 23rd Coachella Festival will take place at the Empire Polo Club located in Indio, California – which is around 23 miles away from the city of Palm Springs.
Fans will be able to livestream the festival on YouTube beginning at 4pm (PST) on April 12.
In between sets and when music artists are not on the stage, viewers will have the chance to watch replays of performances, as well as exclusive coverage and behind-the-scenes moments.
The headliners for this year’s festivities include Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator, Doja Cat and also No Doubt.
Earlier this year in January, fans of No Doubt were sent into a frenzy after it was announced that Gwen Stefani will reunite with her bandmates at the popular festival.
The singer – who has forged a successful solo career – made the big reveal on Instagram as she shared this year’s festival line-up to her stories.
Gwen, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young shared a fun Zoom call video announcing the reunion news on social media. The rock band last performed together nearly 10 years ago in 2015.
The group is known for hits such as It’s My Life, Just A Girl, Don’t Speak and also Hella Good.
Lana Del Rey – known for her smash hit Summertime Sadness – last performed at Coachella 10 years ago in 2014 and this will be her first time headlining.
‘I am really excited about headlining. It’s funny, because it’s going to be about 10 years to the day that I was [last] there, which is insane,’ the songstress recently told Vogue in January.
‘I’ve known I was headlining for a long time, because you get booked way in advance, so I’ve thought about it for a while, and I already have a lot of things set into motion.’
Lana expressed, ‘If all goes well, it’ll be as big and bold as I hope it will be. Architecturally, it’s going to depend on the structure, and whether I can make it…But I’m really excited about it. I’m excited, so my fans can get excited.’
Her makeup artist, Etienne Ortega, also briefly opened up about the star’s glammed up look for the stage and revealed Lana has ‘amazing surprises.’
‘She’ll kill me if I say anything,’ he told People in an article published on Friday. ‘But she’s got a lot of amazing surprises, I’ll tell you that much!’
‘I’m going to go back to what I said earlier about something fresh and new and different. I think tonight’s look will be maybe even unexpected, but different…It’ll still be Lana, but just different.’
On the topic of her makeup look, Ortega stated, ‘We’re still going to have a liner. Lana can’t be Lana without her infamous liner.’
‘But tonight’s color story is a bit more warm tones. Usually we do a cool-tone eye, a very black, bold liner. We’re going for a little bit more of browns, like a brown warm sandy palette with gold, with a little bit of a golden, radiant skin.’
He also later expressed that during the festival, ‘I think there’s going to be a lot of little Lanas running around. I definitely think people are going to be wearing the flower crowns.’
This will mark Doja Cat’s third Coachella performance and her first time as headliner.
Tyler, The Creator took the Coachella stage in 2015 and 2018. He has made a number of surprise appearances at the festival over the years.
Like Lana and Doja, this is the rapper’s first headlining Coachella gig.
Other notable Coachella 2024 acts include: Ice Spice, Lil Uzi Vert, J Balvin, Sabrina Carpenter, Bebe Rexha, Renee Rapp, Grimes, Sublime, Jon Batiste and Lil Yachty.
Coachella is an annual music and arts festival which brings together some of the biggest artists in the industry and thousands of celebrities, influencers, fans, and music lovers from around the world.
It is held in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert every year and features acts that span several genres including rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic.
The first Coachella was held in October 1999 as it featured headliners Beck, Tool, and Rage Against The Machine and has since grown into a 150K capacity festival which routinely sells out.
On Friday, some artists that will take to the various stages during the festival include Lana Del Rey, Sabrina Carpenter, Tinashe and Suki Waterhouse – who confirmed the birth of her first child with Robert Pattinson earlier this month.
On Saturday, Tyler the Creator, No Doubt, JUNGLE, Raye, Jon Batiste and Vampire Weekend are just a few of the performers that will take to the stage.
And on Sunday, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Bebe Rexha, Renee Rapp and Jhené Aiko are some of the stars that are also slated to perform.
