GTA 6 Festival Miami: Lottery Closes Tuesday

Published November 9, 2026.

CONFIRMED. Rockstar Games has announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, a one-day music festival in Miami on Saturday, November 21, two days after the game launches. There is no general sale. Tickets are lottery-only, entries close Tuesday, November 10 at 4 PM ET, and even winning a code does not guarantee you a ticket.

What Is GTA VI: The Festival?

CONFIRMED. The Festival is a live launch celebration presented by Rockstar Games and PlayStation and produced by the team behind Miami's III Points festival, as reported by Insider Gaming. It runs for one day only, Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Mana Wynwood in Miami, the warehouse arts district at 318 NW 23rd St, with two stages of music.

Rockstar's own description keeps the focus on the soundtrack: "Experience the music of Vice City and Leonida at Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, a special live event on November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami to celebrate the launch of GTAVI, featuring a star-studded lineup of artists from the game and the official soundtrack."

That framing matters. Rockstar is selling a music event built from the game's radio stations and soundtrack. It has announced nothing about playable GTA 6 demos, early access, or in-game rewards for attending, and nothing on its event page promises any of those.

How Do You Get GTA 6 Festival Tickets?

CONFIRMED. There is exactly one route in, and it runs on a tight clock. Entry is free, limited to one entry per person, and you must be 17 or older to enter and to attend.

1. Enter the lottery at the official festival entry page before Tuesday, November 10 at 4:00 PM ET. Entries close at that time, with no general sale afterwards.
2. Right after entering, create a free account on DICE, the ticket platform, using the same email address and phone number as your lottery entry. Coverage of Rockstar's event page guidance, including Pixel Herald's walkthrough, stresses this step so your purchase is not flagged as bot activity.
3. Winners are drawn at random and contacted by text message with a one-time code by Tuesday, November 10 at 7:00 PM ET. The lottery is operated by Laylo, as ComicBook also reported.
4. Tickets go on sale to code holders only on Wednesday, November 11 at 12:00 PM ET on DICE, first come, first served. A code unlocks the chance to buy; it does not hold you a ticket.

The purchase rules are strict: a maximum of two tickets per person, tickets are non-transferable, and codes cannot be sold or traded. Rockstar has not announced ticket prices, and it has not said whether the festival will be streamed for fans who cannot get to Miami.

Who Is Performing at the GTA 6 Festival?

CONFIRMED. Rockstar published the full lineup with the announcement, and it pulls directly from the game's soundtrack and radio stations, per Insider Gaming:

• Cactus Jack presents Travis Scott
• Don Toliver
• Kodak Black
• Sofaygo
• Cardi B
• Metro Boomin
• Justice (DJ set)
• Tainy
• Rauw & Friends
• Ca7riel
• Paco Amoroso
• Nick León B2B DJ Python
• Prospa B2B Skream
• Suero
• The Dare B2B Fcukers

For a launch-week event, the lineup is the story. Rockstar is not flying in random headliners; it is putting the game's own music on a Miami stage two days after release, in the city the game is built on.

Why Is Rockstar Throwing a Festival in Miami?

OUR TAKE. The Festival is the biggest piece of a real-world launch takeover that has been building for weeks. Miami Beach has already voted to brand itself as Vice City for the launch, with the city's own marketing deal covered in our Miami Vice City campaign article. London got its own piece on Monday when the Selfridges GTA 6 store opened with a £2,500 jacket that sold out the same day, covered in our Selfridges merch price list.

The lottery format fits the same pattern as everything else this launch: controlled scarcity. A 212 GB preload, a Collector's Box with no game in it, and now a launch festival where winning the draw still only earns you a place in line. If you want in, the entry costs nothing and takes a minute. Just do it before Tuesday at 4 PM ET, because after that the door is closed no matter what you are willing to pay.
