Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival Set for Miami on 21 November
Rockstar Games has announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, a live music event at Mana Wynwood in Miami on 21 November. The event is two days after Grand Theft Auto VI itself launches on 19 November for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The lineup includes Cardi B, Travis Scott, Kodak Black and Justice, according to GameSpot. Justice, the French electronic music duo, also composed the score for the game. Rockstar's own announcement lists Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso as performers, and bills Travis Scott's set as "Cactus Jack presents Travis Scott." Travis Scott and the Miami Heat had already unveiled Vice City jerseys earlier in the week, on 6 November.
The festival runs two stages of non-stop music. Rockstar describes it as a special live event built around the music of Vice City and Leonida, the fictional settings of the game. It is produced by the team behind III Points, a music festival in Miami. PlayStation is a partial sponsor.
Tickets cannot be bought directly. Entry works through a lottery, which closes on 10 November at 4 pm ET (Eastern Time). Winners are drawn on 10 November and can buy tickets on 11 November. Each buyer is limited to two tickets, and tickets cannot be transferred to someone else. Attendees must be 17 or older.
Rockstar has also published details on access for guests with disabilities. The grounds are a mix of asphalt and grass, and the site has accessible routes linking the entrances, stages, viewing areas, vendors and activity areas. The festival does not provide on-site transport, so guests must get around on their own or with a companion. Wheelchairs, scooters, crutches, walkers and canes are allowed, but wheelchair and scooter rentals are not offered.
Accessible viewing areas will be set up at designated stages, with space for one companion. Those areas run first come, first served and are non-smoking. Guests who need accessible services can get a free accessibility wristband. There is no advance registration or separate accessibility ticket. Registration happens on site, and the Accessibility Services Hub sits straight inside the entrance, beside Guest Services and Lost and Found.
Rockstar also keeps a Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Gallery, where official videos and screenshots can be downloaded and shared.
For anyone planning to go, the next steps are simple. Enter the lottery before 4 pm ET on 10 November, and watch for the draw results that day. Anyone who misses out will still be able to follow the lineup and the launch from home.
