The festival will feature a diverse lineup of artists, many of whom have contributed to the game's expansive soundtrack.

The festival serves as a cultural anchor for the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, which officially releases on November 19 following a 13-year wait since its predecessor. The game is already generating significant buzz, with reports suggesting it could be the most expensive title ever produced. With a map size double that of GTA 5, the game is expected to draw massive engagement, with some industry estimates suggesting millions of players may take time off work to experience the launch.
Music remains a central pillar of the experience. Alongside the release, an accompanying album will arrive featuring new tracks from global stars. Rockstar has promised that the game’s in-game radio stations will offer an unparalleled variety of music, featuring contributions from artists such as Fred Again.., PinkPantheress, and Keith Richards.
The radio station lineup includes a wide array of hosts, such as Bad Bunny for ‘Cocoteo FM,’ Slayer’s King Kerry and Tom Araya for ‘The Chamber 106.6,’ and Lana Del Rey, who will present ‘Back Country Radio’ alongside Jeremy Dufrene. Other curated stations will be led by the likes of Burna Boy and Robyn, ensuring the game’s audio landscape is as diverse as its open world.
