Rockstar Games has announced a one-day music festival in Miami to celebrate the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI, per hiphophero.com.
Scheduled for November 21 at Mana Wynwood, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival is produced in partnership with PlayStation and the creators of the III Points festival, taking place two days after the game’s official launch on November 19.
Hip-hop stars Travis Scott and Cardi B will headline the event alongside a lineup of artists featured in the game and its official soundtrack. The bill includes Don Toliver, Kodak Black, Metro Boomin, Tainy and French electronic duo Justice, who also composed the game’s original score.
Organisers described the festival as a live celebration of the soundtrack and culture surrounding the game’s fictional locations of Vice City and Leonida. Featured tracks in the title include Scott’s “Rhyno” and Cardi B’s “Don’t Chart”.
Alongside the festival announcement, Rockstar confirmed that Miami hip-hop veterans Trick Daddy and Trina will host an in-game radio station named Dirty South Classics. Speaking on the partnership, Trick Daddy highlighted the cultural alignment of representing Miami music within the franchise, noting that bringing that energy to Grand Theft Auto felt like a natural fit.
The promotional event highlights Rockstar Games’ ongoing integration of music culture into the Grand Theft Auto franchise, expanding its in-game soundtrack ecosystem into real-world live events.
