Rockstar Games has announced a live concert to celebrate the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI. It is called GTA VI: The Festival, it takes place on 21 November at Mana Wynwood in Miami, and PlayStation is named alongside Rockstar as its presenter.
Most readers in Pakistan will not be flying to Florida for it, but the lineup is a useful early look at the game’s music side. Rockstar describes the bill as artists from the game and from its official soundtrack, and the game itself arrives on 19 November, two days before the show.
The poster Rockstar published lists Cardi B, Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, and a Cactus Jack set that presents Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and Sofaygo. Justice, named as a soundtrack act, are billed for a DJ set. The rest of the card is Metro Boomin, Nick León back to back with DJ Python, Prospa back to back with Skream, Rauw and Friends, Suero, Tainy, and The Dare back to back with Fcukers in a DJ set.
Rockstar’s announcement post sends fans to a sign-up page for tickets. Sign-ups for the pre-sale lottery are open now, winners get the chance to buy on Wednesday 11 November, and tickets are capped at two per person. The posts do not give a price.
The event is one of several real-world stunts Rockstar has lined up around the release, in Miami, the city that Vice City is modelled on. The game itself, due on 19 November, is what matters most to players here; the concert is a side show for those who can get to Florida.
