Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat and Tyler, The Creator will headline this year's edition of the Coachella music festival, organizers said Tuesday.

No Doubt -- the group fronted by Gwen Stefani, which reached peak fame in the 1990s -- will also reunite onstage at the festival for the first time since 2015, organizers said.

Mexican sensation Peso Pluma, Bronx rapper Ice Spice and Colombia's J Balvin are all also set to perform at the three-day weekend in the California desert that kicks off the music festival circuit.

The major festival takes place over two three-day weekends, this year scheduled to begin April 12-14 with a repeat slated for April 19-21.

The lineup reveal follows last year's history-making weekend, when Bad Bunny became the first Spanish-language and first Latin American solo act to headline, and K-pop group Blackpink of South Korea was the first Asian act to perform in a top slot.

The late 1990s rockers Blink-182 also reunited at the 2023 festival.

Earlier this week New York's Governors Ball festival also released its lineup, with headliners to include Post Malone, The Killers, and SZA, as well as Rauw Alejandro, 21 Savage and Peso Pluma.

Renee Rapp and Victoria Monet are among the rising stars who are scheduled to perform at both festivals.

Also set to perform at both Coachella and Governors Ball is Saint Levant, an artist of Palestinian-French-Algerian-Serbian descent who spent his childhood years in Gaza before he and his family were forced to flee to Jordan. The artist is now based in Los Angeles.

Sega said Wednesday one of its most popular games, "Shinobi", will be made into a movie in a joint project with Universal Pictures, aiming to emulate the success of "Super Mario Bros".

The Japanese gamemaker did not give a target date for the release but said it had "started the development of a film production" with the Hollywood behemoth.

"Shinobi" was originally created for Japanese arcades in 1987 and features a ninja character who fights to stop a criminal organization that kidnaps child ninjas.

It is the latest effort to cash in on a video-game adaptation craze after "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" became the second-highest grossing film of 2023, following a 2020 adaptation of Sega's "Sonic the Hedgehog".

Last month, Electronic Arts confirmed that a much-rumored movie based on its life-simulation gaming series "The Sims" will be developed by Amazon MGM Studios.

"Shinobi is one of Sega's most popular series worldwide, along with Sonic the Hedgehog," Sega said on Wednesday.

The movie will be directed by Sam Hargrave, whose first feature film was the 2020 Netflix movie "Extraction" starring Chris Hemsworth.

Sega said the companies hope the "Shinobi" movie will find box office success like "Super Mario Bros".

In March, Nintendo announced that the red-capped Italian plumber will hit the silver screen again in 2026.

Nintendo is also working on a live-action film of another hugely successful franchise, "The Legend of Zelda", together with Sony, maker of the rival PlayStation console.
