Rockstar is not just releasing the biggest game of the year. It is throwing a festival for it, in Miami, with a lineup pulled straight off the soundtrack.
“Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival” goes down Saturday, November 21 at Mana Wynwood, two days after the game launches on November 19. Rockstar and PlayStation are presenting it, the III Points team is producing it, and the music runs across two stages.
Cactus Jack headlines the bill: Travis Scott with Don Toliver, Kodak Black and SoFaygo. Cardi B is on it. Metro Boomin, Tainy and Rauw & Friends are on it, and Justice, who composed the game’s score, closes the loop with a DJ set.
The lineup is the soundtrack, live: the artists on the game’s radio stations and album, on a stage in the real Vice City.
Tickets are the hard part. Entry ran through a lottery that closed Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and the people who got a code can buy starting today at 12 p.m. ET through DICE. Tickets are $60, two per buyer, and you have to be 17 or older. A waitlist is open for everybody else.
Rockstar also opened preorders for physical editions of “Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album” and the game’s original score on vinyl and CD, because at this point the game comes with everything except a day off work. That part, America is apparently handling on its own.
