No Doubt confirm 2009 tour

added: 23 Jan 2009 // by: newsdesk 

No Doubt have confirmed their 2009 tour.

The ska punk band, who have reunited with singer Gwen Stefani, will return to the stage in May, and Stefani admits she can't wait to hit the road and have fun.

She said: "The whole reason for going on this tour was to have fun, try out our favourite songs again and to get inspired to make new music. It feels good to be together again."

The band - Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young and Tom Dumont - are playing shows in Canada and the US before heading to Europe later in the year.

Drummer, Young, 39, said: "Now that five years have passed, the excitement level for us is extremely high. I feel like a kid again when rehearsing these songs."

It has been reported that Paramore will provide support on the tour, with possible appearances from Grammy-nominated Janelle Monae and Canadian reggae act Bedouin Soundclash.

Stefani - who recently gave birth to Zuma Nesta Rock, her second child with husband Gavin Rossdale - recently insisted motherhood wasn't going to stop her from being a pop star.

The singer - who also has a two-year-old son Kingston with Gavin- said: "I don't think we should wait. Pack up the babies and get a bunch of nannies.

So fun! Would be so inspiring to get out there and play all those songs again."
