Rockstar Announces Grand Theft Auto VI Festival and Real-World Car Lineup

Rockstar Games is expanding the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI beyond home consoles by hosting a live music festival in Miami and introducing real-world replicas of vehicles featured in the upcoming game. The celebrations accompany final preparations for the game, which is scheduled for release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Titled Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, the special live event will take place on November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami. Designed to mirror the musical atmosphere of Vice City and Leonida, the festival features two stages with nonstop performances from artists tied to the game and its official soundtrack. The lineup includes Travis Scott with Cactus Jack, Cardi B, Metro Boomin, Tainy, Justice, Rauw & Friends, and many others.

Ticket sales for the Miami event are being handled through a lottery system operated by DICE, with exclusive codes distributed by Laylo. Registrations for eligible participants close on November 10, and winning entries are granted the opportunity to purchase a maximum of two non-transferable tickets starting November 11. Attendees must be 17 years of age or older.

In addition to the music festival, Rockstar Games partnered with West Coast Customs to bring six vehicles from the game into the physical world. The collection includes superesportivos and customized classics such as a Grotti Cheetah inspired by the Ferrari Testarossa, a Pegassi Tempesta police cruiser, and an Invetero Coquette. The Grotti Cheetah, equipped with a 4.9-liter V8 engine and an Italian leather interior, has been placed on display at the Selfridges department store in London and is listed for sale at 1 million pounds.

Ahead of the launch, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed that the game will not face any further delays. Speaking in an interview, Zelnick noted that pre-orders are significantly higher than initial company expectations. Due to the massive technical scale of the title, which requires 212 GB of storage space, pre-loading for the game was strategically brought forward to mitigate stress on global network infrastructure.

Zelnick also addressed the technological landscape surrounding the game's release, downplaying financial threats from generative AI while emphasizing the importance of protecting intellectual property. Meanwhile, the executive confirmed that GTA Online will continue to receive regular support and updates alongside the deployment of the new title.
