2009 summer music preview

Hottest reunion tour: No Doubt

Sure, Gwen Stefani’s solo career has given the world some quality ear candy (and ensured that an entire generation of middle-schoolers never misspelled the word “bananas”), but we’ve missed the days when she was “Just a Girl” who sang for the world’s catchiest ska-pop band. And clearly, we’re not alone: the response to the band’s first tour in over five years has been overwhelming, with shows already sold out in most markets.

Other hot summer reunions: Phish, blink-182, Creed, Jane’s Addiction.
