And according to reports, Lenny Kravitz may be on his way as well.Natalia Oreiro, a Latin Grammy-nominated singer from Uruguay, will be heading to Tel Aviv in March.

The famed, acclaimed DJ is best known for always appearing at this shows wearing a large, marshmallow-like mask.

Channing is the only member of The Nirvana Experience who was in the original band; he was its drummer from 1988 to 1990, and played on its debut album Bleach.
