GTA 6 Festival: Date, Lineup, Tickets & How to Get In
Grand Theft Auto VI finally comes out on 19 Nov 2026, and Rockstar is marking the launch outside the game too. Since GTA 6 takes players back to Vice City, Rockstar's take on Miami, the celebration is happening in the real Miami just two days later.
GTA VI: The Festival takes place on 21 Nov 2026 at Mana Wynwood in Miami. Rockstar and PlayStation are behind the one-day event, with Travis Scott, Cardi B, Metro Boomin, Tainy and more on two stages. Tickets only went to fans who won a pre-sale lottery, but a waitlist on DICE is still open for anyone who missed out.
GTA 6 Festival Summary
GTA VI: The Festival happens on 21 Nov 2026 at Mana Wynwood in Miami, two days after GTA 6 launches.
Rockstar and PlayStation present the event, with two stages of music from GTA 6 artists and the official soundtrack.
Headline acts include Travis Scott, Cardi B, Metro Boomin, Tainy and Rauw Alejandro.
GTA 6 festival tickets sell only on DICE, with a waitlist open after the lottery closed.
Entry is for fans 17 and up with a valid photo ID, and alcohol is 21+ only.
When and Where Is the GTA 6 Festival?
GTA VI: The Festival happens on Saturday, 21 Nov 2026, at Mana Wynwood in Miami. Rockstar presents it together with PlayStation, and the team behind Miami's III Points festival handles production, with two stages running through the day.
Mana Wynwood sits at 318 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127, and every ticket holder enters through 5th Avenue. Exact start and end times aren't public yet, and the event goes ahead in any weather, so checking the forecast before heading out helps with planning.
GTA 6 Festival Lineup
Rockstar's lineup brings together artists from GTA 6 and its official soundtrack:
Cactus Jack presents Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and SoFaygo
Cardi B
Metro Boomin
Tainy
Rauw & Friends, led by Rauw Alejandro
Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso
Suero
Justice (DJ set)
The Dare B2B Fcukers (DJ set)
Nick León B2B DJ Python
Prospa B2B Skream
Expect a mix that covers hip-hop, electronic and Latin music, matching the Miami setting. Plenty of these artists also show up across the GTA 6 radio stations and songs, and Rockstar's official music page lists the in-game stations along with GTA VI: The Album and the GTA VI: Original Score, both available to pre-order on vinyl and CD.
How to Get GTA 6 Festival Tickets
GTA 6 festival tickets are sold only through DICE, using codes from a Laylo lottery. Entering the lottery worked in four steps:
Enter the lottery on the official festival site with a name and phone number, and agree to receive texts.
Create a DICE account right away, using the same email and phone number as the lottery entry so it isn't flagged as a bot.
Wait for the draw, which picked winners by 7 PM ET on Tuesday, 10 Nov, three hours after entries closed.
Buy tickets on DICE with the code, starting 12 PM ET on Wednesday, 11 Nov.
Winners were picked at random and got their code by text. Winning only gave the chance to buy, with a limit of two tickets per person, and tickets were always subject to availability. Tickets are non-transferable, so a friend on the same order has to arrive and enter together with the buyer.
Fans who weren't picked can still join the waitlist on DICE. When ticket holders can't make it, they relist their tickets there, and the waitlist gets them in the order people joined.
Reselling only works through DICE at the original price. Selling a ticket anywhere else gets it cancelled without a refund, so third-party resale listings aren't a safe way in.
Getting to the GTA 6 Festival
There's no parking at Mana Wynwood, so rideshare is the easiest way in. Drivers drop guests at set points around the edge of the festival grounds, and the entrance for all ticket holders is on 5th Avenue.
Some private lots and street parking spots sit nearby, but the organizers don't run or watch any of them. Anyone driving parks at their own risk.
GTA 6 Festival ID and Age Rules
Every guest needs to be 17 or older and show a valid photo ID at the gate, and drinking alcohol requires being 21 or older.
Accepted forms of ID include:
U.S. government-issued driver's license or ID card with a photo and date of birth
U.S. or foreign passports with a photo and date of birth
Foreign driver's licenses or IDs together with a color photocopy of the passport, though it doesn't count for the 21+ wristband
Temporary DMV papers for a license renewal, but only with a passport or the expired license
Digital IDs, school IDs, consular IDs, birth certificates, expired IDs and photocopies don't get anyone through the gate, apart from the passport copy case mentioned earlier.
What to Bring to the GTA 6 Festival
Every guest goes through a TSA-style security check, with bags and pockets emptied, a full pat-down and sometimes shoes removed. Security can refuse entry to anyone and can search bags at any time inside the festival. Bags have to follow strict size rules:
Clear bags up to 12" x 6" x 12"
Small clutches or bags of any color up to 6" x 9"
Hydration packs with no more than two main pockets and one small pocket, empty at the gate, with no size limit
Other things allowed in include empty reusable water bottles, vapes, deodorant, sealed nasal naloxone, glowsticks, LED accessories and hula hoops, and handmade flags or signs without hard poles or company branding. Personal misting fans are fine with a bottle up to 1.5L, emptied at the gate, and so are non-professional cameras, handheld video devices under 6" and GoPro poles. Prescription medicine needs the doctor's prescription, can't be expired and gets checked with a safety officer at the gate.
What Not to Bring to the GTA 6 Festival
Security turns away a long list of items at the gate, and these are the ones that catch people out most:
Outside food or drinks, including candy and alcohol, plus glass, cans, cups and coolers
Over-the-counter medicine, drugs, drug gear and anything illegal
Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives, pepper spray and fireworks, plus toy guns, water guns and slingshots
Professional cameras and recording gear, drones and laser pointers
Aerosols, markers, pens, spray paint, stickers and flyers
Costumes that look like police, SWAT, fire, security or medical uniforms
Red light-up wands, gas masks, air horns, massagers, balls, frisbees and pets
Tents, large umbrellas, chairs, blankets and inflatable wind chairs
Anything outside these lists comes down to security's call at the gate, since items can't be approved ahead of time.
GTA 6 Festival Rules
Once inside, guests should know a few rules before the music starts:
No re-entry, so leaving the grounds ends the day
No refunds or exchanges on tickets
No moshing, crowd-surfing or stage-diving
No sitting on dancefloor areas and no camping
No unofficial vendors, flyers, samples or giveaways
Accessibility at the GTA 6 Festival
Festival grounds have accessible routes across asphalt and grass, linking the entrance, both stages, vendors and viewing areas. Guests with a disability get a free accessibility wristband at the Accessibility Services Hub, just inside the entrance next to Guest Services, with no need to sign up beforehand.
Each wristband holder can bring one companion into the accessible viewing areas at the stages, which work on a first come, first served basis. Spots can't be saved, the areas are non-smoking, and anyone away for more than 30 minutes loses their spot. Companions may need to stand at the back once an area fills up.
Accessibility wristbands last for the whole festival and have to stay on all day. Swapping companions means returning the old companion wristband to the hub for a new one. Personal wheelchairs, scooters, crutches and walkers are welcome, but the festival doesn't rent out wheelchairs or scooters.
GTA 6 Release Date and Launch Week
GTA 6 launches on 19 Nov 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the festival follows two days later. Anyone still deciding on a version can compare the GTA 6 pre-order price and editions before launch day.
PC players have a longer wait, since the game starts on consoles only. Updates on the GTA 6 PC release date will show when computer players can finally join the trip to Leonida.
FAQs About the GTA 6 Festival
Final Words
GTA VI: The Festival turns launch week into a real-life Vice City party, with some of the biggest names in hip-hop and electronic music on stage. Fans without a ticket still have the DICE waitlist, and everyone else can catch the same artists on GTA 6 radio once the game is out.
