The event showcasing upcoming releases from the streaming platform will stream live from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on May 31, with an additional performance from Lady Gaga
Netflix is gearing up to preview an extensive slate of releases at Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event, but the event wouldn’t be complete without an accompanying live soundtrack. The streaming platform will host a performance from the Houston bred, Bangalore-based rapper Hanumankind when the live event streams live from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 31, Rolling Stone can exclusively announce. The event will include an additional performance from Lady Gaga.
Hanumankind is already intertwined with the event premiere, having landed a placement for his hit single “Run It Up” in the official trailer for the live event. The artist born Sooraj Cherukat previously entered the Netflix orbit with “The Game Don’t Stop,” the record he performed for the highly anticipated second season of Squid Game, the most-watched series in the platform’s history.
Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event will preview the upcoming third season of Squid Game in addition to Frankenstein, Happy Gilmore 2, One Piece, Stranger Things, Wednesday, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and The Rip. Hanumankind and Gaga will represent the musical portion of the night, while actors from Netflix series and films, including Outer Banks, The Life List, Ginny & Georgia, My Life with the Walter Boys, and more, are slated to make special appearances.
“I have moves and intentions. I have found purpose in what I do after years of not having it. There’s a lot I want to say and that’s purely through the art,” Hanumankind told Rolling Stone earlier this year, adding: “It is easy for you to get overwhelmed by everything that happens on the outside — it’s human nature. But what brought us here, that’s what will continue to take us forward. That doesn’t mean that I’m keeping my eyes closed. I’m aware. I like to say that I keep my ear to the streets.”
