Rockstar Games and PlayStation are throwing a live music event in Miami two days after the game launches. “Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival” takes place on November 21 at Mana Wynwood, with a two-stage lineup built around artists tied to the game and its soundtrack. Rockstar described it as a special live event “to celebrate the launch of GTAVI” in its post on X.
This is the GTA 6 festival in Miami that fans have been asking about since the soundtrack was announced. Tickets went through a lottery that has already closed, so here is what is confirmed, what is still unclear and how to avoid getting caught out.
- Event: Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, presented by Rockstar Games and PlayStation, produced by the creators of III Points.
- Date and venue: Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Mana Wynwood, 318 NW 23rd St, Miami, Florida.
- Format: two stages of continuous music.
- Tickets: sold via DICE using lottery codes from Laylo. Entries closed November 10; Rockstar’s page now offers a waitlist.
- Not announced: start and end times, ticket prices and any livestream.
- Game launch: November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
What Rockstar Announced About the GTA 6 Festival
Rockstar’s Newswire post went up on November 9, according to Endgame Tools’ log of Rockstar’s official announcements, and the official Festival page carries the full details. The event is presented by Rockstar and PlayStation and produced by the team behind III Points, Miami’s long-running music festival.
The page says the grounds will have two stages of “nonstop music.” Every ticket holder enters through 5th Avenue. Rockstar has not said what, if anything, will be game-themed beyond the artist lineup, so we will not guess at set design or activations.
GTA 6 Festival Lineup: Who Is Playing
Rockstar lists these acts, in its own order:
- 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)
Rockstar has not published a stage split or a running order, so there is no confirmed schedule yet.
The Game Connections That Are Confirmed
Rockstar’s X post says the lineup features artists “from the game and the official soundtrack.” Some of those links are already documented in our coverage:
- Travis Scott, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso and Rauw Alejandro were among the six debut singles on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, which Rockstar and Atlantic Records announced on September 17. See our soundtrack album report.
- Justice composed the game’s original score, per a Rockstar Newswire post dated October 29 in Endgame Tools’ log. Music publication That Eric Alper reports the score is due on December 11, which we have not confirmed with Rockstar.
For the other names, we have only Rockstar’s general wording. Endgame Tools says Metro Boomin appears on a track by Yung Lean, but we treat that as reported, not confirmed here. For the in-game side of the music, our radio stations breakdown covers what Rockstar has previewed.
GTA 6 Festival Tickets: Lottery Closed, Waitlist Open
Access was never first-come, first-served at the start. Fans had to enter a Laylo lottery, and only code holders could buy through DICE. By Rockstar’s timetable, entries closed on Tuesday, November 10 at 4 p.m. ET, winners were drawn at 7 p.m. ET, and tickets went on sale to winners on Wednesday, November 11 at noon ET.
As of Rockstar’s page, the lottery is closed and fans can join a waitlist for possible tickets. Each purchaser could buy up to two tickets, and tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. Winners are told to create their DICE account with the same email address and phone number used for the lottery entry, or risk being flagged as a bot.
Entry Rules Rockstar Has Published
The official page is unusually detailed about what you can and cannot do. The essentials:
- Attendees must be 17 or older; buying or drinking alcohol requires being 21 or older.
- A valid, unexpired photo ID is required. Digital IDs, school IDs and photocopies are not accepted.
- There is no on-site parking. Rockstar strongly encourages rideshare, with drop-off points around the perimeter.
- Security includes a TSA-style search and pat-down. There is no re-entry, and no outside food or drink.
- Prohibited items include drones, weapons, glass, aerosol cans, professional recording equipment and pets.
- Non-clear bags must be 6" x 9" or smaller; clear bags can be up to 12" x 6" x 12".
Accessibility
The grounds are asphalt and grass, with accessible routes to stages, viewing areas and vendors. Free accessibility wristbands are issued at the Accessibility Services Hub just inside the entrance, with no pre-registration needed. Accessible viewing areas are first-come, first-served, and wheelchair or scooter rentals are not provided.
What Rockstar Has Not Said
Several questions fans will ask first remain unanswered on the official page when we checked on November 13:
- No set times. Start and end times are not listed. One outlet calls it an “all-day celebration,” but that is not an official schedule.
- No ticket price. The page does not state one.
- No livestream. Neither Rockstar’s page nor the reports we reviewed mention a broadcast or recording. If you cannot attend, there is nothing official to point you to yet.
We will update this article if Rockstar adds any of these. Until then, treat any claimed schedule or stream link as unverified.
Why the GTA 6 Festival Matters
Rockstar is now treating launch as a week-long event rather than a single day. The calendar around it looks like this:
- November 10: digital preload opened. See our preload guide.
- November 18: the Miami Heat’s “A Night in Vice City” game. See our Heat event report.
- November 19: launch at midnight local time, alongside the soundtrack album. Track it on our GTA 6 countdown timer.
- November 21: The Festival in Miami.
The festival also puts Miami at the centre of the rollout again. It follows the Heat game and the street-level branding we covered in our Vice City takeover report, where only the Heat event was officially confirmed. Unlike that coverage, this event is fully announced by Rockstar itself.
For fans, the practical value is the lineup’s overlap with the music Rockstar has been promoting for two months: a soundtrack album, six radio stations and a Justice-composed score. For Rockstar, it is a live showcase for that music at the moment the game reaches players. We would not read more than that into it.
The Bottom Line on the GTA 6 Festival in Miami
The GTA 6 festival in Miami is a confirmed, ticketed Rockstar and PlayStation event on November 21, headlined by Travis Scott, Cardi B, Justice, Metro Boomin and Tainy. The lottery is over, the waitlist is the only official route in, and set times, prices and any livestream are still missing.
