Rockstar plans Miami festival for GTA VI launch

Rockstar Games will stage a one-day music festival in Miami on November 21 to celebrate the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, ERR reports. The event, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, is scheduled for two days after the game’s release.

The lineup includes Travis Scott with Don Toliver, Sofaygo and Kodak Black, as well as Cardi B and Argentine duo CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso.

Justice, Metro Boomin and Rauw Alejandro are among the DJs. Miami-based electronic producer Nick León will perform with DJ Python. The bill also includes British producer The Dare, US electropop duo Fcukers and British producer-DJs Skream and Prospa.

Music has featured in the Grand Theft Auto series since its first game in 1997, with players able to listen to radio stations while driving. In GTA VI, stations will be curated by artists including Bad Bunny, Burna Boy, Slayer and Robyn. The game will also let its main characters, Jason and Lucia, listen to the radio through headphones while walking, and will introduce podcasts to the series.

Artists named for the game’s official soundtrack include Tame Impala, SZA, Travis Scott, Cardi B, Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro, Yung Lean, Future and Keith Richards. French electronic duo Justice is leading the soundtrack.
