Rockstar Games is taking GTA 6 off the screen for one night. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival runs on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Mana Wynwood in Miami, two days after the game launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Rockstar and PlayStation announced the event on November 9, and the team behind Miami’s III Points festival is producing it. The official festival page confirms two stages, a 17+ entry rule, and tickets you can only buy after winning a lottery.
GTA 6 Festival date, time, and venue

Venue: Mana Wynwood, 318 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127
Entrance: 5th Avenue for all ticketholders
Doors: 4:00 PM ET (1:00 PM PT), per the DICE listing reported by GGRecon
Set times: Not announced as of November 12

The location is a deliberate pick. Vice City is Rockstar’s take on Miami, so fans can walk the real streets the game riffs on. Our Vice City location guide lists every confirmed in-game district if you want to compare.
GTA 6 Festival full artist lineup
Rockstar lists 11 billed slots covering 18 named artists, split across hip-hop, Latin, and electronic acts. Several of them also appear on the game’s music side, which is the clearest sign this is a soundtrack showcase rather than a generic concert.
| Artist | Set type | Confirmed GTA 6 link |
|---|---|---|
| Travis Scott (Cactus Jack presents) | Headliner | “RHYNO” on GTA VI: The Album |
| Don Toliver, Kodak Black, SoFaygo | Cactus Jack showcase | None confirmed |
| Cardi B | Headliner | None confirmed |
| Metro Boomin | Headliner | Features on “That’s It” with Yung Lean and Future |
| Rauw & Friends | Headliner | Rauw Alejandro’s “Macacoa 2000” is on the album |
| Tainy | Headliner | None confirmed |
| Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso | Live set | “Sexy Magic” with PinkPantheress and Fred again.. |
| Suero | Live set | None confirmed |
| Justice | DJ set | Composed the game’s original score |
| Nick León B2B DJ Python | B2B DJ set | None confirmed |
| Prospa B2B Skream | B2B DJ set | None confirmed |
| The Dare B2B Fcukers | DJ set | None confirmed |
“None confirmed” reflects public info as of November 12. Rockstar has revealed only part of the album’s 34 tracks, so more links could surface at launch. The billing order isn’t a schedule either. For every name tied to the game so far, see our GTA 6 music artists list.
How GTA 6 Festival tickets work
You can’t buy a ticket outright. Rockstar ran a lottery through Laylo, and only winners received a code to buy on DICE.
| Step | ET | PT | IST |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lottery entries closed | Nov 10, 4:00 PM | Nov 10, 1:00 PM | Nov 11, 2:30 AM |
| Winners drawn | Nov 10, 7:00 PM | Nov 10, 4:00 PM | Nov 11, 5:30 AM |
| Winner sale on DICE | Nov 11, 12:00 PM | Nov 11, 9:00 AM | Nov 11, 10:30 PM |
The catch is in the fine print:
- Price: Rockstar hasn’t published one. GGRecon reports the DICE listing showed $60, so treat that as a guide.
- Limit: Two tickets per buyer.
- Transfers: Not allowed, so you can’t buy one for a friend who will attend alone.
- Refunds and exchanges: Not allowed.
- Account match: Your DICE account must use the same email and phone number as your lottery entry, or it may be flagged as a bot.
Missed the lottery? You can join the waitlist on DICE, but it doesn’t guarantee a ticket, and Rockstar hasn’t announced a general sale. Since tickets are non-transferable, skip resale listings.
Who can attend: age, ID, and entry rules
Entry is 17+, and buying or drinking alcohol requires 21+. Everyone needs a valid photo ID. The organizers reject digital IDs, school IDs, consular IDs, and expired cards.
International visitors need extra care. A foreign driver’s license works only with a color photocopy of your passport, and that combination won’t get you the 21+ wristband. Bring the passport itself.
A few rules hit GTA fans directly:
- Toy guns are banned, along with real weapons, drones, and laser pointers. Leave cosplay props at home.
- Bags: Clear bags up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches are allowed. Non-clear bags can be no larger than 6 x 9 inches.
- No re-entry, no moshing, no crowd-surfing.
- Entry includes a TSA-style search and pat-down.

Will the GTA 6 Festival be livestreamed?
Rockstar hasn’t announced a livestream as of November 12, 2026. That could change closer to the date, but no platform or time is confirmed.
Fans outside Miami can still hear most of these artists in context. GTA VI: The Album arrives on November 19 with 34 original tracks, and our full Extended Look soundtrack list covers the songs Rockstar has already shown.
Signing off
The festival caps a tight launch week: the game and its album on November 19, then a live show on November 21. Set times and any stream are still unknown, and Rockstar will likely post them on its festival page first. If you’re playing on launch day instead, make sure you’ve cleared enough PS5 storage for GTA 6.
