Rockstar Games has announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, an official one-night music festival in Miami built entirely around the music of GTA 6. The event will run two stages of non-stop music, with every performer drawn from the game and its official soundtrack.
The announcement on the event's official website bills the night as a celebration of the game's launch: "Experience the music of Vice City and Leonida at Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, a special live event on November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami to celebrate the launch of GTA VI, featuring a star-studded lineup of artists from the game and the official soundtrack." Presented by Rockstar Games and PlayStation, the festival is produced by the creators of III Points, the long-running Miami festival that takes over the same Wynwood venue each year.
Cactus Jack, Cardi B and Justice Lead the Festival Lineup
The lineup is headed by Cactus Jack presents Travis Scott, with Don Toliver, Kodak Black and SoFaygo performing alongside him. Cardi B is also on the bill, as are Argentine duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso.
Justice will play a DJ set, a fitting booking since the French electronic duo composed the game's original score. Metro Boomin, Nick León B2B DJ Python, Prospa B2B Skream, Rauw & Friends, Suero and Tainy round out the bill, along with The Dare B2B Fcukers, also performing a DJ set.
A Lottery Decides Who Gets to Buy Festival Tickets
There is no general sale, because entry runs through a ticket lottery on the festival website, with tickets handled by DICE. Entries close on Tuesday, November 10 at 4 p.m. ET, entry is free, and each person can enter only once.
Winners will be drawn at random and contacted by text message with a code by 7 p.m. ET that same evening, with the lottery operated by Laylo. Those codes unlock the chance to buy tickets on Wednesday, November 11 at 12 p.m. ET on a first-come, first-served basis, capped at two tickets per winner.
Tickets are non-transferable and cannot be sold or traded, and everyone entering the lottery and attending the event must be 17 or older. A code does not guarantee a ticket, since availability is limited, and Rockstar has not announced ticket prices.
The Festival Extends GTA 6's Soundtrack Push
The festival also arrives alongside two soundtrack releases built from the game's music. GTA 6: The Album collects 34 brand-new original tracks from a roster that includes Travis Scott and Keith Richards, while Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score gathers 30 tracks of Justice's score for the game, following on December 11.
It is a fitting piece of symmetry, since the game returns the series to Vice City, its fictional take on Miami. Grand Theft Auto VI itself launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, with The Festival taking over Mana Wynwood in Miami two days later, on Saturday, November 21.
