Rockstar Games is turning the release of Grand Theft Auto VI into a real-world concert. Travis Scott, Cardi B, Kodak Black, Don Toliver and Metro Boomin are on the bill for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, a one-night show at Mana Wynwood in Miami on November 21.
That date lands two days after the game itself. Rockstar’s own Grand Theft Auto VI page lists the launch as November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the pre-load opening on November 10.
Rockstar pitched the night in a post on its official account as “a special live event on November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami to celebrate the launch of GTAVI, featuring a star-studded lineup of artists from the game and the official soundtrack.” Rockstar and PlayStation are the presenters.
The Cactus Jack block leads a stacked bill
The top of the poster is billed as Cactus Jack presents Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and SoFaygo, so the Houston rapper brings his own camp to Wynwood. Cardi B and Metro Boomin sit right behind them. Then the lineup swerves well outside rap:
- Argentine duo Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso
- Justice, playing a DJ set
- Rauw & Friends, Tainy and Suero
- Back-to-back sets from Nick León with DJ Python, Prospa with Skream, and The Dare with Fcukers
That spread mirrors the game. Rockstar has built Grand Theft Auto around in-car radio stations since the early titles, and this one is set in Vice City and the fictional state of Leonida, the series’ take on Miami and Florida. Hip-hop, Latin and club music on one bill is basically a radio dial played live. Justice are not a random booking either: Rockstar’s site credits the French duo with the game’s original score, announced on October 29.
For Travis Scott, this is the second Grand Theft Auto headline in a week of rap news. Badiyaa covered his feature on Future’s new single Ya Hit, alongside Drake and Loe Shimmy, on November 7.
No open sale: tickets go by lottery
Fans cannot just click buy. Entry runs through a pre-sale lottery, and the winners then get a window to purchase on the ticketing app DICE. According to published reports of the rules, buyers are capped at two tickets each, tickets cannot be transferred, and everyone attending must be at least 17. The organizers have not posted a total capacity or face-value price in anything we could read, so we are not guessing at either.
The GTA VI week, day by day
Here is how the next 11 days stack up, using the times given for the lottery and Rockstar’s own release date (all times US Eastern):
- Tuesday, November 10: the pre-load opens, and lottery entries close at 4 p.m., with winners told by text around 7 p.m.
- Wednesday, November 11: ticket sales open at noon, for lottery winners only.
- Thursday, November 19: Grand Theft Auto VI launches.
- Saturday, November 21: the festival at Mana Wynwood.
So a lottery winner gets 48 hours of Vice City on the console before seeing the soundtrack’s artists in the real Miami neighborhood the game riffs on. For fans outside Florida, no livestream has been announced in the material we read.
A report on the event also says the show is being produced by the team behind III Points, Miami’s long-running music festival, and will run across two stages. Rockstar has not detailed set times yet. The next hard date for anyone hoping to go is 4 p.m. Eastern on November 10, when the lottery shuts.
