As part of the massive celebrations in Miami—the city that inspires the fictional map of the game—Rockstar Games has officially announced “Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival”, an exclusive live music event bringing together the biggest names in urban culture.
Star-Studded Roster: Which Artists Are Performing at Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival?
The official lineup confirmed by the company features a selection of global superstars who form a core part of urban culture and the game’s soundtrack. Headlining the event are:
- Travis Scott
- Cardi B
- Don Toliver
- Kodak Black
- Metro Boomin
In addition to these headline performers, the festival will feature surprise appearances from other musicians and producers who shape the radio stations and sonic atmosphere of this upcoming release.
Where Will Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival Take Place and What Are the Requirements?
The massive event will take place on Saturday, November 21—just two days after the game’s official release—at the Mana Wynwood venue in Miami.
Due to the mature rating that defines the franchise, organizers have established strict entry rules: the event is strictly 17 and older, prohibiting minors from attending to maintain the mature tone of the experience.
How to Buy Tickets and Access the Lottery System
Securing access to this historic event will not follow a standard general sale. Grand Theft Auto VI is implementing a lottery registration system to manage the overwhelming demand:
- Registration: Interested fans must sign up through the official platform enabled by the developer.
- Draw and Results: The selection process gives priority to digital draw winners to ensure a fair and transparent format for millions of users worldwide.
Official Schedule: Registration, Code Lottery, and Ticket Sales
The registration form for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival is now live on the event’s official digital platform. To guarantee a spot at the Miami concert, fans must keep the following global deadlines and time zones in mind:
- Lottery Registration Deadline: Sign-ups close this Tuesday, November 10, at 4:00 PM EST (Miami time). This corresponds to 1:00 PM PST in Tijuana, 3:00 PM CST in Mexico City, and 10:00 PM CET in mainland Spain.
- Winner Notifications: Selected applicants will receive a text message confirmation on Tuesday, November 10, by 7:00 PM EST (Miami time). This equals 4:00 PM PST in Tijuana, 6:00 PM CST in Mexico City, and 1:00 AM CET (Wednesday, November 11) in Spain.
- Official Ticket Sale Launch: Users who receive an access code can complete their purchase starting Wednesday, November 11, at 12:00 PM EST (Miami time). That translates to 9:00 AM PST in Tijuana, 11:00 AM CST in Mexico City, and 6:00 PM CET in mainland Spain.
It is crucial to note that receiving a code does not guarantee a reserved ticket; passes for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival will be sold strictly on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last among randomly chosen winners.
To prevent applications from being flagged as automated bot activity, Rockstar Games advises registering on the DICE ticketing platform using the exact same email address and phone number provided for the festival lottery draw.
