The Krewe of Endymion announced that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton will headline the 2026 Endymion Extravaganza at the Caesars Superdome. Stefani, known for her work with No Doubt and her solo career, recently released Bouquet and is slated to reunite with No Doubt at the Sphere in Las Vegas next spring. Shelton’s upcoming album For Recreational Use Only marks his first in several years and includes collaborations with Stefani and other country artists.

Endymion also named Mardi Gras historian and Mardi Gras Guide founder Arthur Hardy as a Co-Grand Marshal in recognition of his long involvement with Carnival. Hardy, who plans to retire after Ash Wednesday, attended the first Endymion parade in 1967 and hasn’t missed one since. The krewe’s 2026 parade will roll on February 14 along its Mid-City route before heading into the Superdome, with a second Co-Grand Marshal to be announced later.

No Doubt, with Gwen Stefani as the lead singer, performed at Jazz Fest in May 2015. No Doubt also performed in New Orleans in 1996, sharing the bill with Bush and the Goo Goo Dolls at the UNO Lakefront Arena. Local singer Casmè, who appeared on The Voice (where Stefani was a judge), mentioned receiving praise from the California girl singer during her time on the show.
