No Doubt kick off their first tour in more than five years on May 5, at New Jersey's Bamboozle Festival (see all tour dates).
To get the inside details on what fans can expect from the longtime
Orange County hitmakers, we sat down with them recently in Los Angeles:

Don’t Call it a Reunion
Drummer Adrian Young wants to clarify
something. I feel like everywhere I look people are saying, Oh
Blink-182 is getting back together and Jane’s Addiction is getting
together and No Doubt is getting back together. As far as I know, those
other guys broke up. We never did. It’s frustrating to keep hearing
that.

And the Survey Says?
Because they haven't played live in five years, the band were curious
to know what songs their audience wanted to hear. A survey on their
website provided the answer. I was totally surprised the fans said
their favorite song was 'Sunday Morning' [from 1995's Tragic Kingdom,]
says bassist Tony Kanal. I thought that would be up there, but I
wasn't expecting it to be number one. What was he expecting? 'Don't
Speak' or something from Rock Steady.

Ain't No Hollaback
Don't plan to hear Gwen Stefani's solo hits on this tour. A No Doubt
concert isn't the time or place for those songs, says Stefani. No
one asked for No Doubt songs on my [solo] tour and no one will ask for
my songs on a No Doubt tour. Love. Angel. Music. Baby.
fans have reason for hope, though. The singer says she might be
singing 'Hollaback Girl' somewhere else someday. She wouldn't be
specific, but we're hoping one spot is the karaoke bar a block from our
office.

Buy One, Get Lots Free!
Fans who purchase a top-tier ticket online for one of the No Doubt's upcoming shows can download the band's entire digital catalogue
– free. Sales ploy? Sure. But as Kanal explains, there was also
another motivation: We're going to have a lot of Gwen's fans at the
shows, as well as people who have never seen No Doubt before. We wanted
to make sure they know our music.

I just got the March 6 issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine in the mail today, and there's a full page ad for ND's tour in it. I've scanned it, and you can see it in the gallery here.

The band is going to perform on the TV show Gossip Girl. From the official site: Mark your calendars to see No Doubt perform Stand And Deliver
(originally by Adam And The Ants) for the first time ever on Gossip

No Doubt Announces 2009 Summer Tour With Special Guest Paramore
The Sounds, Janelle Monae and Bedouin Soundclash To Support on Select Dates

LOS ANGELES, CA – Grammy-winning rock band No Doubt announced plans for their 2009 summer tour today.

The band will launch their highly anticipated tour this May, playing
outdoor amphitheaters and arenas throughout the summer. Singer Gwen
Stefani said, “The whole reason for going on this tour was to have fun,
try on all our favorite songs again and to get inspired to make new
music. It feels good to be all together again.

No Doubt has selected Paramore as the special guest for the tour. What
a dream tour! We couldn't be more excited to kick off 2009 by touring
with a band like No Doubt,” said Paramore singer Hayley Williams.

Get there early…this is going to a be a great night from the moment the lights go down, said bassist Tony Kanal.

The third act that will open the show will be shared among The Sounds,
Janelle Monae and Bedouin Soundclash. Check your local listings for
more specific information.

“Now that five years have passed, the excitement level for us is
extremely high. We are so fresh and ready! I feel like a kid again
when rehearsing these songs,” said drummer Adrian Young.

The 2009 No Doubt Summer Tour will be produced by Live Nation and will
include stops in both the U.S. and Canada. The band last toured in
2004, co-headlining with Blink 182.
