No Doubt A ‘99% Chance’ To Tour Australia

No Doubt are actively looking to return to Australia, guitarist Tom Dumont has admitted, and it's just a matter of time before they get down here.

The reformed pop-rock favourites recently released their first album of new material in 11 years, Push And Shove, and as soon as they can juggle a schedule with their respective children we can expect a visit.

Speaking to Time Off Dumont said, “Will we come to Australia? There is a 99 percent chance we'll get down there, as soon as we figure the kids thing out.”

He added that coming back after a decade-long break, “The big difference for us [is] during that time apart everybody started families – Gwen obviously did, but all of us started having kids as well. Going into this album, that was the big difference in our lives – we'd grown up and in the old days, the band was always number one for everybody, our first priority and the fun thing we did with our lives. And now the band is kept second really – we all want to be really part of it as parents and everything – the writing schedule, everything, is impacted by that; we just work less.

“The thing is, that's really great as well because you don't get as burnt out, we don't work as much as we used to in that sense, whether it be in the studio or promotion. That impacted how long it took to make the record but even now that we're going on these promo trips, in Gwen's case, she usually has her kids with her – she's the mom and we need to make allowances for that. The guys have wives at home so that makes it a little easier on us.”
