Rockstar Games has pulled back the curtain on the soundtrack of Leonida. In a Newswire post titled "The Music of Grand Theft Auto VI: In-Game Radio Stations," published October 8, Rockstar revealed the first six radio stations coming to GTA 6 — and the DJ booths are stacked with real-world music stars, including Lana Del Rey, Bad Bunny, and Morgan Wallen.
Rockstar says this is only the beginning. "Spanning stations dedicated to everything from Classic Rock, Modern Hip-Hop, Pop, Metal, Dance, Latin, 80's, Electronic, Blues, Ballads, Talk Radio, and more, Grand Theft Auto VI players will experience the biggest and widest-ranging selection of in-game radio yet," the company said in the announcement.
Here are the six stations announced so far:
Station | Genre | DJs |
|---|---|---|
Cocoteo FM | Modern Latin — bachata, merengue, dembow, reggaeton; "el party que nunca se apaga" | El Martillo (Bad Bunny), La Gata (RaiNao) |
Back Country Radio | Renegade country, "blasted to the Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, and beyond" | MW (Morgan Wallen), Delta Dawne (Lana Del Rey), plus roving reporter Mud Dog Mike |
AfroBank FM | African music, from 20th-century classics to amapiano and 3-step | Burna (Burna Boy), Palmsy (Palms Trax) |
The Chamber 106.6 | Classic metal from the '80s and beyond | DJ Kerry (Kerry King of Slayer), DJ Tom (Tom Araya of Slayer) |
Flash FM | Pop — the returning Vice City institution | Robyn (as herself), Alex (Alex Consani) |
Dirty South Classics | Regional rap and hip-hop classics | Trick (Trick Daddy), Trina (as herself) |
Each station comes with confirmed sample tracks on Rockstar's preview site, from Bad Bunny's "EoO" on Cocoteo FM to Slayer's "Raining Blood" on The Chamber 106.6 and Charli XCX's "Good Ones" on Flash FM.
The country station carries a fun real-life twist: Back Country Radio's roving reporter Mud Dog Mike is played by Jeremy Dufrene — Lana Del Rey's real-life husband, a tour-boat captain — described by Rockstar as the station's "roving reporter, swamp meteorologist, and Delta's not-so-secret lover," checking in from the driver's seat of his Grassrivers airboat.
Del Rey's casting is a full-circle moment. In an interview with country publication Holler, she said: "One of the coolest things about this is the fact that the first time some of our family got to LA they actually knew the roads because of playing the game." She added: "On so many different levels this is super special and a privilege. Can't wait to get into the game and start playing."
Beyond the stations, Rockstar confirmed a series first: on-demand podcasts. "For the first time ever, Grand Theft Auto VI introduces a series of on-demand podcasts for the game's protagonists Jason and Lucia to experience beyond Leonida's terrestrial radio, with both radio and podcasts available to listen to in vehicles and on-foot through newly introduced headphones and earbuds connected to their smartphones," the announcement reads. No podcast titles or hosts have been revealed yet.
Thirteen personalities are officially credited across the announcement — 12 DJs plus Dufrene's roving reporter role. Fans can sample each station with one-to-three-minute audio previews at rockstargames.com/VI/music, and Rockstar also shared three new screenshots of Leonida alongside the reveal.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
