What is GTA VI The Festival?

GTA VI The Festival is a live concert built around the game’s music, featuring artists who appear in Grand Theft Auto VI and on its official soundtrack. According to the official Rockstar Games event page, the show runs two stages of nonstop music and is produced by the creators of III Points, the Miami music and arts festival.

The date is deliberate. Grand Theft Auto VI arrives on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026, the same day as the 34-track GTA VI The Album from Rockstar and Atlantic Records. The festival lands that Saturday, turning the release week into a real-world event in the city that Vice City is modeled on.

It is also not the only Miami tie-in. DJ Mag reports that downtown club E11EVEN is being turned into the in-game NINE1NINE nightclub, and that Club Space will host a three-day Vice City takeover as The Vault from November 20 to 22, 2026.

Who is performing at GTA VI The Festival?

Eleven acts are billed, ranging from Houston trap to Argentine alt-pop and French electronic music. Most have a direct link to the game’s soundtrack: Travis Scott recorded “RHYNO” for the album, Cardi B contributed “Don’t Chart,” Metro Boomin appears on Yung Lean’s “That’s It,” and Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso feature on “Sexy Magic.”
