GTA 6 is bringing its music to Miami with a November 21 festival at Mana Wynwood, two days after the game’s scheduled launch. Travis Scott, Cardi B, Metro Boomin and a Justice DJ set are among the acts announced for the two-stage event. Rockstar Games and PlayStation are presenting the festival, with the team behind III Points handling production.
The music of GTA 6 is getting a venue outside the game. Rockstar Games will stage Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival at Mana Wynwood on November 21, in the real city that inspired Vice City. The one-day event is presented with PlayStation and produced by the team behind Miami’s III Points festival. Two stages will bring together performers linked to the game and its companion soundtrack.
The bill includes a Cactus Jack presentation with Travis Scott, Don Toliver and other artists from his circle. That format makes Scott’s appearance part of a larger slot on the programme. Cardi B and Metro Boomin are also on the bill, giving the festival several points of entry for audiences coming from rap and the production that shapes it. The announcement brings those names together at the same venue without setting out a full timetable for the performances.
Justice are listed for a DJ set. That detail describes the kind of performance the French duo will bring to Wynwood and distinguishes it from their full live production. The festival also includes Nick León back to back with DJ Python and Prospa back to back with Skream. Those pairings give the electronic side of the programme a strong presence across a bill that extends well beyond the headline rap names.
Other announced acts include Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, Tainy and Rauw & Friends. Their places on the bill bring Latin American music into the same programme as the US rap acts and electronic bookings. The combination makes sense in Miami, where those audiences overlap. For the GTA 6 event, it also creates a live counterpart to the range of music Rockstar is using to evoke Vice City and the wider fictional state of Leonida.
The timing is built around release week. GTA 6 is scheduled for November 19, two days before the festival. Rockstar has also announced separate music releases tied to the game. The soundtrack album and the original score serve different purposes, and the live event is another part of that rollout. A name on the festival bill indicates an announced performance in Miami. The festival programme itself is not a track listing for the game or its soundtrack.
Access to tickets was organised through a lottery. Registration was due to close on November 10 at 4 p.m. Eastern time. Selected applicants were to be contacted and given a personal code for the purchase window beginning November 11 at noon Eastern. Ticket sales were handled through DICE, using contact information matching the lottery entry. The code gave its recipient the opportunity to try for tickets subject to availability.
Each code allowed a purchase of up to two tickets, on a first-come basis while inventory lasted. The codes were non-transferable. The organisers set a minimum age of 17 for entry, an important condition for anyone planning to go with a younger fan. For people who entered the GTA 6 lottery, the distinction between selection and a confirmed purchase matters: receiving a message was one step in the process, with a completed order still required.
Mana Wynwood is at 318 NW 23rd Street. The event information directs ticket holders to an entrance on Fifth Avenue and says there is no parking on the festival grounds. The venue rules also specify what bags and equipment can be taken inside. Those are practical details for an event spread over two stages, where a visitor may be coming to Wynwood for the first time as much as for one particular artist.
Music has long been one of the ways Rockstar makes its fictional cities feel inhabited. Radio stations can give a drive through the same streets a different atmosphere depending on what is playing. The Miami festival translates that idea into a place where people can move between stages and hear the acts themselves. GTA 6 provides the occasion, but the performers are coming to a neighbourhood with a music scene of its own.
The November 21 date puts the event inside the first weekend after the scheduled launch. In one room or on one stage, a festival built around a game could easily be defined by the biggest guest on its poster. At Mana Wynwood, the interest is also in what happens between the marquee appearances, when a rap audience can walk over to a back-to-back DJ set and a different crowd can come back the other way.
