I think Niyaz will be perfect. They will surely give a great performance.

Please check the band Salt Petal, I've been following this band and I think their sound would be perfect for your lineup.
Thanks.

I like the above. All are good. BUT PLEASE GET DAKAH HIP HOP ORCHESTRA BACK! and Miri Ben-Ari if you can! More acts that mix classical elements with hip hop.

Xoxo

Yes, all these acts are good but I also want to recommend Salt Petal, they are amazing and the sound is very spicy. We'd love to see them in the future lineup.
