Paramore will support No Doubt on their first full tour in five years, it's been revealed.

The tour, which begins in May, will take in outdoor stadiums and arenas across the US.

At present, the only confirmed date is a headlining appearance at New Jersey's Bamboozle Festival on May 3rd.

In a statement, singer Gwen Stefani told Billboard: "The whole reason for going on this tour was to have fun, try on all our favourite songs again and to get inspired to make new music. It feels good to be all together again."

As previously reported, No Doubt are are currently working on their new album – but it is not expected until 2010.

Drummer Adrian Young said in December that the band would continue to record the album while on tour.
