GTA 6 gets its own music festival in Miami, two days after launch
Rockstar and PlayStation are throwing a one-day festival in Miami on November 21 with Travis Scott and Cardi B. You can't just buy a ticket: entry goes through a lottery that closes today.
Rockstar is taking GTA VI off the screen for one night. In a Newswire post on November 9, the studio announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, a one-day concert in Miami on Saturday, November 21, two days after the game comes out. PlayStation co-presents the event, and the team behind Miami's III Points festival is producing it.
Where and who
The festival takes place at Mana Wynwood, an events venue in Miami's Wynwood arts district, across two stages. Travis Scott and Cardi B top the bill, with Metro Boomin and a DJ set from French duo Justice. Coverage of the full lineup also lists Tainy, Rauw & Friends and Argentina's Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, and says Scott's Cactus Jack set brings guests including Don Toliver and Kodak Black. Rockstar hasn't published set times yet.
Travis Scott is no stranger to this campaign: his Cactus Jack label also co-designed the 'Vice City' uniforms the Miami Heat will wear on November 18, the night before launch, as ESPN reported on November 6.
How to get in
There's no open ticket sale. You enter a pre-sale lottery on the official festival site, with a DICE account, and only winners get to buy. Here's the timeline as reported:
- **Today, November 10, 4 p.m. ET** (10 p.m. in Paris, 6 p.m. in Brasília): lottery entries close. One entry per person.
- **Same evening, around 7 p.m. ET**: winners receive a code from DICE.
- **November 11, noon ET**: winners can buy up to two tickets. Tickets are not transferable.
Attendees must be 17 or older, and 21 or older to buy alcohol. Ticket prices and capacity haven't been announced, so it's not yet clear how many people will actually get in.
Should you enter from abroad?
Only if you can be in Miami on November 21. Rockstar hasn't said whether the show will be streamed, and it hasn't mentioned any other city. For everyone else, the festival mostly shows how much this launch leans on Miami, the real-world model for Vice City: it comes after the Heat's themed night and Miami-Dade County's marketing deal with Rockstar.
