Rockstar Games and PlayStation have officially announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, a one-day live music celebration scheduled for Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Mana Wynwood in Miami, Florida. Unveiled on November 9 ahead of the video game's November 19 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the concert brings the fictional state of Leonida and the neon-lit streets of Vice City into the real world, according to Rockstar Games. The event features a major lineup led by Travis Scott, Cardi B, Don Toliver, Kodak Black, Justice, and Metro Boomin, alongside newly announced physical and digital soundtrack releases.

The announcement arrives as gaming and pop culture audiences track every cultural tie-in surrounding the blockbuster title, from its sprawling musical roster to reported parodies of luxury fashion houses.

Producing the event in partnership with PlayStation and the organizers behind Miami's III Points festival, Rockstar is staging a two-stage concert experience designed to mirror the sonic identity of its long-awaited release, according to Hypebeast.

Inside the 'Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival' Lineup

The November 21 event at Mana Wynwood is structured around two dedicated stages hosting continuous live performances and DJ sets. According to the official event roster published by Rockstar Games, the festival includes 14 billed acts and collaborative groupings. A centerpiece of the event is a special Cactus Jack presentation featuring label founder Travis Scott alongside Don Toliver, Sofaygo, and Florida native Kodak Black.

Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B is also billed as a marquee performer for the Miami showcase. Beyond hip-hop's biggest names, the lineup bridges international Latin music, experimental club sounds, and electronic production.

Rauw Alejandro will take the stage for a set billed as Rauw & Friends, while Argentine duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, Puerto Rican hitmaker Tainy, and artist Suero are also confirmed to perform, according to Billboard.

Electronic music and producer-driven sets form the second pillar of the Miami event. Superstar producer Metro Boomin is slated to perform, while French electronic duo Justice will deliver a DJ set. The festival will also highlight three back-to-back DJ pairings: Nick León B2B DJ Python, Prospa B2B Skream, and a DJ set from The Dare B2B Fcukers.

Soundtrack Releases, Original Score, and In-Game Radio

The live festival serves as the centerpiece of a broader music rollout accompanying the game's release weekend. While Rockstar Games describes the Miami festival lineup broadly as featuring artists from the game and the official soundtrack, industry publications have outlined more specific musical roles.

According to VGC, the studio is releasing two separate album projects across streaming platforms, CD, and vinyl formats, though official event materials do not confirm whether every live festival performer has an individual track or radio slot inside the game itself.

The first release, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, drops on November 19 alongside the console game. It features 34 original tracks from an eclectic roster of recording artists. According to Billboard and VGC, artists associated with the 34-track compilation include Cardi B, Travis Scott, Future, Metro Boomin, Morgan Wallen, Yung Lean, Tame Impala, Fuerza Regida, and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.

A second project, Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score, is scheduled for release on December 11. That record comprises 30 tracks selected from the musical suite composed specifically for the game by Justice, according to VGC.

In addition to the standalone albums, the in-game radio dial in Leonida will feature stations hosted and curated by major recording artists, including Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Morgan Wallen, Burna Boy, Robyn, and Miami rap veterans Trina and Trick Daddy, according to Billboard.

Cultural Parodies and Luxury Fashion Rumors

Alongside Rockstar's massive music push, social media chatter and secondary media coverage have focused heavily on how Grand Theft Auto VI satirizes modern luxury culture. The franchise has a decades-long history of spoofing high-end real-world labels through fictional in-game storefronts and streetwear items. Secondary headlines, including coverage syndicated by The Times of India, have pointed to apparent in-game parodies of luxury fashion houses such as Gucci and Chrome Hearts.

However, Rockstar's official launch announcements and primary event materials do not confirm specific Gucci or Chrome Hearts parody names, nor has the developer published an official directory of in-game clothing labels ahead of the November 19 release.

While players expect Vice City's digital boutiques to lampoon contemporary designer fashion just as previous entries did in Los Santos, exact details regarding those satirical brands remain uncorroborated in the studio's official disclosures.

What Fans Need to Know About Festival Tickets and Entry

For fans hoping to attend Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival in person, access is strictly regulated through a digital pre-sale lottery managed via ticketing platform DICE. According to Hypebeast and Billboard, registration for the lottery closes on Tuesday, November 10, at 4 p.m. ET, with general ticket sales opening to selected entrants on Wednesday, November 11, at noon ET. Selected fans are permitted to purchase up to two tickets.

To prevent automated scalping and bot entries, Rockstar Games advises registrants to create an active DICE account immediately after entering the lottery using the exact same email address and phone number submitted on the registration form.

What are the age and bag restrictions for the Miami festival?

Attendees must be at least 17 years old with a valid photo ID to enter the Mana Wynwood festival grounds, matching the Mature rating of the video game series, and at least 21 years old to purchase or consume alcohol. Security guidelines prohibit non-clear backpacks, purses, and crossbody bags larger than 6 inches by 9 inches, and all bags are subject to search upon arrival. Because there is no on-site parking at the venue, organizers strongly encourage attendees to use rideshare services, which will utilize designated drop-off zones around the perimeter.

Which festival performers have confirmed music inside the game?

While Rockstar describes the concert roster collectively as featuring artists from the game and its official soundtrack, specific releases have been confirmed for several headliners.

Justice composed the 30-track original score, while Cardi B, Travis Scott, and Metro Boomin are confirmed contributors to the 34-track Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album releasing on November 19.
