Hanumankind announces headline show at The Academy
Tickets start from €28.50 and go on sale Friday, June 6 at 10am
Indian rapper Hanumankind will play a headline show at The Academy, Dublin on Monday, July 14.
Part of his OTW Europe 2025 Tour, the performance will mark the first Irish show for the Kerala-born artist.
Hanumankind, whose real name is Sooraj Cherukat, grew up around the world, living in France, Nigeria, Egypt, Dubai and the UK before finally settling down in Houston. He is currently based in Bengaluru, India.
A press statement said he "will go down in history as one of the artists who introduced the world to Indian hip-hop."
Last year, Hanumankind released his high-energy track 'Big Dawgs', which became an international hit after going viral on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Following the success of the track, Hanumankind released a remixed version with A$AP Rocky.
He has cited Southern US hip-hop acts such as Three 6 Mafia and DJ Screw among his early influences.
Although he raps in English, Hanumankind is widely popular in India for incorporating and promoting Indian culture through his music. In September of last year, he performed at a rally for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New York.
Before transitioning to music, the 33-year old earned a business degree and worked for Goldman Sachs.
He has released two EPs: Kalari in 2019 and Surface Level the following year.
Tickets for his Dublin show go on sale this Friday, June 6 at 10am. You can book tickets here.
