Over the weekend, the Gwen Stefani-led No Doubt revealed that, after a long hiatus, they've reunited, with
plans for a full-scale tour next year and a new studio album somewhere down the line. Now, the kind folks at Bamboozle have confirmed the band's first official reunion gig: May 3 at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The annual punk-rock concert's organizers have also confirmed that Fall Out Boy will be headlining the festival's first night on May 2.
More bands are expected to be added to the Bamboozle bill in the coming weeks. Unsubstantiated rumors suggest the festival's organizers are trying to secure R&B throwbacks Boyz II Men for a special performance, which would sound somewhat odd, if rapper Snoop Dogg hadn't headlined last year's event.
The 2008 Bamboozle featured more than 40 acts, including Paramore, Gym Class Heroes, Cute Is What We Aim For, the Academy Is ..., Coheed and Cambria, Cobra Starship, Metro Station and Straylight Run.
Multiple-day passes are already on sale over at Bamboozle's official Web site, with single-day tickets scheduled to go on sale this Friday.
It's likely No Doubt will be previewing new music for fans when they take the Bamboozle stage in May. Guitarist Tom Dumont, in a posting to the band's site, suggested they could write and record new tunes while on the road, in an attempt to finish their first studio album since 2001's Rock Steady.
