Rockstar Throws a Launch Party With a Headline Lineup
Rockstar Games has announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, a single-day music event at Mana Wynwood Convention Center in Miami on Saturday, November 21 — two days after the game itself lands on November 19.
According to iHeart, the lineup includes performances by Cardi B, Travis Scott and Don Toliver, plus appearances from Kodak Black, SoFaygo, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, Metro Boomin, Tainy and Rauw Alejandro & Friends.
Digital Music News adds that the game's composers Justice will play a DJ set alongside Nick León and DJ Python. The event is produced by the creators of III Points in partnership with Rockstar Games and PlayStation, with two stages of nonstop music.
Why a Video Game Launch Is Booking Cardi B and La Flame
It is rare for a game release to command a festival bill of this caliber, and the lineup reads like a GTA soundtrack rollout in the flesh.
Digital Music News notes the game's soundtrack ships with 34 tracks including previously released songs by Cardi B, Travis Scott, Yung Lean, Future, Morgan Wallen, Tame Impala and Fuerza Regida, and that new in-game radio stations will be hosted by Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Trina, Burna Boy and Robyn.
How to Actually Get In: A Lottery, Not a Sale
Tickets will not simply go on sale. USA Today reports fans must sign up for a lottery at gtavi-thefestival.miami by 4 p.m.
ET on Tuesday, November 10, with winners randomly selected at 7 p.m. that day and tickets on sale at noon ET Wednesday, November 11, capped at two per purchase, all managed by the ticketing platform DICE. iHeart notes selected entrants receive a purchase code by 7 p.m.
Tuesday, and that the event is restricted to guests aged 17 and older. USA Today also advises fans to create a DICE account after entering so they are not flagged as bots.
In other words, even superfans have hours, not days, to act.
Miami Turns Into Vice City for a Week
USA Today adds that preordered copies began downloading November 10, requiring up to 212 gigabytes, with the standard edition at $79.99 and the Ultimate edition at $99.99.
For devoted listeners, the deeper hook is musical: a series famous for its radio curation is now curating real-world lineups, and Justice DJing alongside Metro Boomin is the kind of pairing only a GTA launch would book.
