GTA 6 Festival: Lineup, Tickets and Date in Miami
Last updated: November 11, 2026
The GTA 6 Festival, officially called Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, is a one-day live music event on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Mana Wynwood in Miami, two days after the game launches. Tickets are not on open sale: only people who won Rockstar’s pre-sale lottery can buy them, with sales for winning code holders opening on Wednesday, November 11 at 12 PM ET through the DICE app.
Rockstar Games announced the event on the Rockstar Newswire in partnership with PlayStation, describing it as a launch celebration with artists from the game and its official soundtrack. Below you will find the full confirmed lineup, how the ticket lottery works, the entry rules, and what Rockstar still has not said. If you only care about playing, our GTA 6 release date hub has everything about November 19.

Full GTA 6 Festival lineup
This is the lineup exactly as it appears on Rockstar’s official festival poster. Rockstar has not published a stage split or set times.
- Cactus Jack presents: Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and SoFaygo
- Cardi B
- Metro Boomin
- Justice (DJ set)
- Rauw & Friends (Rauw Alejandro with guests)
- Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso
- Tainy
- Suero
- Nick León B2B DJ Python
- Prospa B2B Skream
- The Dare B2B Fcukers (DJ set)
The mix mirrors what Rockstar has shown of Leonida’s music so far: hip-hop headliners, a strong Latin block, and an electronic side that nods to Miami’s club scene. “B2B” means back-to-back, where two DJs share one set and alternate tracks. Justice is the most game-relevant name on the bill, since the French duo also appeared in the launch trailer and is tied to the game’s original score.
How to get GTA 6 Festival tickets
You cannot simply buy a ticket. Rockstar set up a pre-sale lottery on the official festival site (gtavi-thefestival.miami), and winning only gives you the right to try to buy tickets while they last. Here is how the process ran:
- Enter the lottery on the official festival site, with a maximum of one entry per person.
- Create a DICE account using the exact same email address and phone number as your lottery entry. Rockstar warned that mismatched details can be flagged as bots and removed.
- Lottery closed on Tuesday, November 10 at 4 PM ET.
- Winners were drawn at random and contacted by SMS with a code by 7 PM ET the same evening.
- Ticket sales open to code holders on Wednesday, November 11 at 12 PM ET, subject to availability.
Two points trip people up. First, a winning code is not a ticket: if the allocation sells out before you check out, the code does not guarantee entry. Second, tickets are tied to the buyer and cannot be transferred, so be very wary of anyone reselling GTA 6 Festival tickets or codes on social media.
Rules: age, ticket limits and getting there
- Age: you must be 17 or older to enter the lottery and to attend. Alcohol is 21+.
- Ticket cap: a maximum of two tickets per winning code.
- No transfers: tickets are non-transferable, so the buyer should plan to attend.
- Parking: there is no parking on site. Rockstar recommends rideshare, with designated drop-off points around the festival perimeter.
- Venue: Mana Wynwood is a large event space in Miami’s Wynwood arts district, the same neighborhood fans have been comparing to Vice City’s art scene. See our GTA 6 real life locations guide for how Leonida maps onto Florida.
What Rockstar has not confirmed yet
Several details fans keep asking about are still missing from the official announcement. We will update this section as soon as Rockstar or PlayStation shares them.
- Ticket price: Rockstar has not published it on the announcement.
- Door time and set times: not announced.
- Stage split: which artist plays which of the two stages is unknown.
- Livestream: no stream, broadcast or recording has been announced.
- General sale: there is no word on unsold tickets going on open sale.
- In-game tie-ins: Rockstar has not announced any in-game reward or event linked to the festival.
Treat any claim about prices, surprise guests or a stream with caution until it comes from Rockstar, PlayStation or the official festival site.
What the festival tells us about the GTA 6 soundtrack
Rockstar is pitching the event as a chance to hear the music of Vice City and Leonida live, featuring artists from the game and the official soundtrack. That said, the full in-game tracklist has not been published, so not every performer is confirmed to have a song on the radio. The festival announcement arrived alongside a new soundtrack single from Tove Lo, “Blood in Your Eyes”, as reported by Stereogum.
Justice’s involvement also links to the separate score release. Coverage of the festival notes that the duo’s GTA 6 original score is due on December 11, which matches the date we covered in our GTA 6 original score article. For the radio side, our GTA 6 radio stations guide lists every station and host confirmed so far.
Can’t make it to Miami? What to do instead
The vast majority of players will experience GTA 6 at home, not at Mana Wynwood. If that is you, the useful prep this week is simple:
- Make sure your digital copy is pre-loaded so you can play the moment it unlocks.
- Check the exact unlock hour for your region in our GTA 6 release time guide.
- Run through our GTA 6 launch week checklist for storage, settings and controller prep.
We will add any official festival photos, recaps or soundtrack reveals to our GTA 6 news coverage after November 21.
