The members of the band include Jaison, Sriram, Sera Aman, Ravi Balakrishnan, R. Venkatraman and Rahul Hariharan. The band will be making their return to NH7 this year.

She is known for her fusion music where she brilliantly blends western and eastern styles of music.

Wadalis Brothers

The Sufi qawwali duo of Padmashree Ustad Puran Chand Wadali Ji and Lakhwinder Wadali will also be performing at NH7. The duo is highly popular and is known as Wadalis. Padmashree Ustad Puran Chand Wadali Ji first formed a group with his late brother Ustad Piyare Lal Wadali Ji. But with his brother passing, he has often worked with Lakhwinder Wadali and their mastery of classical and contemporary music have made them famous throughout the country. The duo will be making their debut performance at NH7 this year.

These are all the Indian musicians that will feature at NH7. However, there are a lot more international artists that will perform at NH7 Weekender. Some western performers at the fest will be Nick Murphy, Opeth, Cozz and many more.
