Rockstar Games is giving Grand Theft Auto 6 fans another reason to get excited about its upcoming launch, and this time, it involves something outside the game itself. The company has teamed up with PlayStation to announce Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, a real-world music festival scheduled to take place in Miami, Florida, on November 21, 2026.
With GTA 6 set to launch on November 19, the festival will arrive just two days after players finally get their hands on Rockstar’s highly anticipated open-world adventure. Rather than simply organizing another promotional event, Rockstar is bringing the music associated with Vice City and Leonida into the real world, complete with a lineup featuring some major names from the music industry.
The event will take place at Mana Wynwood and feature two stages of nonstop music. Rockstar is organizing the celebration in partnership with PlayStation, while the festival itself is being produced by the team behind Miami’s III Points music festival.
Considering how important music has always been to the Grand Theft Auto experience, this is a pretty fitting way to celebrate the series’ next major release. After all, spending time behind the wheel and switching between radio stations is practically part of the GTA experience.
Grand Theft Auto 6: The Festival Features Travis Scott, Cardi B and More
Rockstar has revealed a lineup that brings together hip-hop, electronic music and several other genres. One of the biggest attractions is Cactus Jack presents Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and SoFaygo, which should be a major draw for fans attending the Miami event.
Cardi B and Metro Boomin are also part of the lineup, alongside Argentine music duo Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso. Electronic music fans have plenty to look forward to as well, with Justice scheduled to perform a DJ set.
Here is the complete lineup announced by Rockstar Games:
- Cactus Jack presents: Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and SoFaygo
- Cardi B
- Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso
- Justice (DJ set)
- Metro Boomin
- Nick León B2B DJ Python
- Prospa B2B Skream
- Rauw & Friends
- Suero
- Tainy
- The Dare B2B Fcukers (DJ set)
The lineup has a strong connection to the musical identity Rockstar is building around GTA 6. The game’s soundtrack and radio stations have already attracted plenty of attention, with the official music collection covering everything from hip-hop and modern Latin music to electronic sounds and classic rock.
Rockstar has also confirmed a separate official soundtrack album, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, featuring 34 original tracks. Players interested in exploring the music before launch can check out the official GTA 6 music page, which includes soundtrack details and previews of selected in-game radio stations.
Justice’s involvement is particularly interesting, as the French electronic music duo is also responsible for composing the game’s original score. The group will perform a DJ set at the festival, giving fans another reason to look forward to its appearance.
How to Get Grand Theft Auto 6: The Festival Tickets
Getting into the festival will not be as simple as opening a ticket website and purchasing a seat. Rockstar is using a lottery system for the opportunity to buy tickets, meaning interested fans first need to submit an entry through the official Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival website.
The lottery closes on Tuesday, November 10, at 4 p.m. ET, so interested fans do not have much time to register. Entries will be selected randomly, with winning participants set to receive an SMS notification containing a ticket purchasing code by 7 p.m. ET on the same day.
Here is the important schedule for anyone hoping to attend:
- Lottery registration closes: Tuesday, November 10, at 4 p.m. ET.
- Winning entries announced: Tuesday, November 10, by 7 p.m. ET.
- Ticket sales begin: Wednesday, November 11, at 12 p.m. ET.
- Maximum purchase: Two tickets per lottery code.
For fans following the event from India, the lottery deadline converts to 2:30 a.m. IST on November 11, while ticket sales for selected participants begin at 10:30 p.m. IST that evening.
There are a few important conditions to remember. Each person is limited to one lottery entry, and entering does not guarantee that they will receive a purchasing code. Even selected participants are not guaranteed tickets, as the codes only unlock the opportunity to purchase them on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
The codes are also one-time-use and cannot be sold or traded. Tickets are non-transferable, and Rockstar has set a limit of two tickets per purchaser. The company has not listed ticket prices on its current event page.
Rockstar Recommends Creating a DICE Account Before Buying Tickets
There is another detail that fans should not overlook before entering the lottery. While Laylo operates the ticket lottery, DICE handles the actual ticket sales through exclusive purchasing codes.
Rockstar specifically recommends creating a DICE account immediately after submitting a lottery entry. Fans should use the exact same email address and phone number for their lottery registration and DICE account. According to the official event website, this helps prevent legitimate entries from being flagged and removed as potential bot activity.
Anyone planning to attend should also remember that the festival has a strict 17-and-older age requirement. Participants must be at least 17 to enter the lottery and attend the event. Anyone hoping to purchase or consume alcohol at the venue must be 21 or older and provide valid identification.
Mana Wynwood is located at 318 NW 23rd Street in Miami, Florida. Rockstar also notes that there is no on-site parking, so rideshare services are strongly encouraged for attendees.
GTA 6’s Miami Festival Is Another Major Part of Rockstar’s Launch Celebration
Grand Theft Auto has always been about more than its missions, characters and open-world chaos. Its radio stations and carefully selected music have helped make each game’s setting feel like a believable place, whether players are cruising through Los Santos or exploring the streets of Vice City.
With Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, Rockstar is taking that part of the experience beyond the screen. Bringing artists associated with the game’s musical identity together for a two-stage event in Miami feels like a natural extension of what the series has been building for years.
The timing also makes the festival an interesting addition to GTA 6’s launch celebrations. The game arrives on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, followed by the Miami event on November 21. For fans lucky enough to secure tickets, it could be an unusually memorable way to celebrate the return of one of gaming’s biggest franchises.
For everyone else, the immediate priority is keeping an eye on the ticket lottery. With registration closing on November 10 and ticket sales opening the following day for selected participants, there is not much time to get everything sorted.
