No Doubt are planning to embark on a huge world tour in support of their new album.

Bassist Tony Kanal told Billboard the group, fronted by Gwen Stefani, “absolutely” intended to follow-up their recent reunion dates.

"I think it'll be even bigger," he said, "and when I say bigger I mean more shows and around the world."

No Doubt are still writing their follow-up to 2001's 'Rock Steady' – and Kanal said they were enjoying their time in the studio.

"I think [because] it's been a while, but also because we're older...the fact that we're still doing it together after 24 years - you know, working on music - I think we really appreciate that,” he said.

It is not clear when the as-yet-untitled album will be released.
