GTA 6 Festival Miami: Line-Up, Tickets and the Lottery
Rockstar Games is throwing a one-night music festival in Miami to celebrate the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, with Travis Scott, Cardi B, Metro Boomin and a Justice DJ set on the bill. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival takes place on Saturday 21 November 2026 at Mana Wynwood, two days after the game comes out. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday 11 November at 12 p.m. ET, but only to fans who won a place in the ticket lottery, which closed on Tuesday.
Here is the full GTA 6 festival line-up, how tickets work, what to do if you missed the lottery and why the event matters to the game’s launch.
Who Is Playing the GTA 6 Festival in Miami?
According to the line-up Rockstar published, reported by Rolling Stone and the fan site 6 Insider, the bill includes:
- Cactus Jack presents: Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and Sofaygo
- Headliners: Cardi B, Metro Boomin, Tainy and Rauw & Friends
- Live acts: Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso and Suero
- DJ sets: Justice, Nick León B2B DJ Python, Prospa B2B Skream, and The Dare B2B Fcukers
Rockstar has not yet published set times or a stage split. The event is “presented in partnership with PlayStation” and produced by the team behind III Points, Miami’s big music and art festival, with “two stages of nonstop music”, 6 Insider reported.
How Do You Get GTA 6 Festival Tickets?
Tickets are sold only through DICE and were allocated by lottery. Entries closed at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday 10 November, and winners were due to be contacted with an access code by 7 p.m. ET that evening, according to the official festival page. A code gives the chance to buy tickets from 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday 11 November on a first-come, first-served basis; it does not guarantee a ticket. Other key rules:
- Limit: a maximum of two tickets per person.
- Age: the event is 17+, and every attendee needs valid photo ID.
- No transfers: tickets are non-transferable, and you and your guest must arrive and enter together.
- No resale off-platform: tickets resold elsewhere will be cancelled without refund. If you cannot go, you can re-list on DICE at the price you paid.
- Weather: the festival goes ahead rain or shine.
Rockstar’s Newswire post did not list prices before the sale, 6 Insider noted, so code holders will see the cost only when the sale opens.
What If You Missed the Ticket Lottery?
You can still join the waitlist on DICE. If a ticket holder cannot attend, they re-list their tickets on DICE and fans on the waitlist get them in the order they joined, the organisers say. Be wary of anyone selling GTA 6 festival tickets on social media or resale sites: because tickets are tied to the buyer’s DICE account and are non-transferable, those listings are likely to be invalid or scams.
Why Is Rockstar Holding a Music Festival?
Music has always been central to Grand Theft Auto, and many of the acts are tied to the new game. Justice composed the game’s adaptive score, and Travis Scott, Cardi B and Rauw Alejandro have singles on The Album, a set of 34 original songs out on launch day, 6 Insider reported. Metro Boomin features on a track with Yung Lean and Future.
The location is deliberate too. GTA VI is set in Vice City, Rockstar’s fictional take on Miami, and Wynwood’s mural-covered streets inspired one of the game’s districts, according to 6 Insider. Rockstar’s GTA VI festival page has the latest official details.
When Does GTA 6 Come Out?
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on Thursday 19 November 2026, two days before the festival. It is one of the most anticipated entertainment releases in years, and Miami has embraced the tie-in: Rockstar is paying $975,000 for a “Welcome to Vice City” sign, 6 Insider reported.
Will the GTA 6 Festival Be Streamed?
Rockstar has not announced a livestream so far. Fans who cannot get to Miami should watch Rockstar’s official channels for any update on streams, set times and the game’s launch-day plans. For more entertainment news, see our report on Godzilla Minus Zero’s record box office opening.
