For the last go round at Irvine Meadows after over 30+ years of live music, concert promoters are pulling out all the stops. Appealing to the hometown crowd, Irvine Meadows will host it's last two shows with Anaheim's very own Gwen Stefani. Rounding out her national "This Is What The Truth Feels Like" tour, the pop music mainstay will help to give a proper send off to one of Southern California's most iconic music venues. Having performed on the stage many times with her band No Doubt, Stefani was a cinch to host what will certainly be a bittersweet farewell. Stefani has surprised the crowd before on the Irvine Meadows stage and with two nights and so much emotion in the air, it's totally OK to expect the unexpected.
