"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," Gwen Stefani said a statement posted to No Doubt's official website. "It feels good to be all together again."
Paramore singer Hayley Williams added, "What a dream tour! We couldn't be more excited to kick off 2009 by touring with a band like No Doubt."
And Paramore won't be the only group along for the ride: Swedish dance rockers the Sounds, R&B up-and-comer Janelle Monae, and reggae/ska outfit Bedouin Soundclash will open select dates of No Doubt's tour.

oh man I remember the one and only No Doubt show I've been to. I went with my friend because she was a big Lit fan and they were opening for them (which should tell you about how long ago this was). We left about 30 minutes into No Doubt's set because my mom was picking us up at 11 at the 7-11 around the corner -- imagine how uncool we'd look if she pulled up right in front of the venue!
