[DigitalToday reporter Jinju Hong] Rockstar Games will hold a large-scale live event in Miami soon after the release of "Grand Theft Auto 6" (GTA 6). The concert will feature well-known artists such as Travis Scott and Cardi B, extending the game’s music and official soundtrack to an offline stage.

On Nov. 9 (local time), IT outlet TechRadar reported that Rockstar Games will stage an official live event, "Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival," on Nov. 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami. The event will be held two days after GTA 6’s official release and will centre on artists who took part in the game and its official soundtrack.

The event will run across two stages. The "Cactus Jack" stage will feature Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and SoFaygo, among others. Cardi B, Metro Boomin, Tainy and a Justice DJ set are also planned.

Other performers include hip-hop duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, Latin pop singer Rauw & Friends, and a joint DJ set by The Dare and electronic duo Fcukers (The Dare B2B Fcukers), among others. With a lineup spanning game music, hip-hop and electronic music, the event is expected to showcase the GTA series’ distinct musical character on site.

Tickets will be offered through a presale lottery rather than on a first-come, first-served basis. Rockstar Games will take lottery applications starting on Nov. 11, with each person allowed to apply once. Eligibility is limited to those aged 17 and older, and one presale code provided to winners can be used to buy up to two tickets.

Winners will be chosen at random from valid applicants. Rockstar Games plans to send presale codes by text message to selected users, and said the chances of winning will vary depending on the total number of valid applications. Even if selected, winners are not automatically guaranteed ticket purchases and must complete the purchase process.

The event will coincide with GTA 6’s release schedule. The game is set to launch on Nov. 19, and digital pre-downloads will begin on Nov. 10. The move is seen as an effort to carry interest in the game into an offline festival by holding an official music event in Miami right after release.

The GTA series is known for introducing a wide range of music through in-game radio and soundtracks. The event is also drawing attention as an attempt to extend the game’s musical identity into a live performance. For fans awaiting the release, it is expected to be a chance to experience not only the new title but also its music and artists in person.
