Rockstar Games is taking Vice City off the screen and into Wynwood. On Monday morning, Rockstar announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, a one-day music festival set for Saturday, November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami, two days after Grand Theft Auto VI arrives on November 19. The bill pulls straight from the game and its official soundtrack, across two stages of nonstop music.
THE LINEUP RUNS FROM CACTUS JACK TO CARDI B
Cactus Jack presents the top of the bill: Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and SoFaygo. Cardi B is on the lineup, and so are Metro Boomin, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, Rauw & Friends, Suero and Tainy. Rockstar is presenting the festival in partnership with PlayStation, and the team behind Miami's III Points festival is producing it.
THE DJS ARE NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT
Justice composed the score for Grand Theft Auto VI, and in Miami the French duo plays a DJ set drawn from the world they scored. The rest of the booth is stacked with back-to-back sets: Nick León b2b DJ Python, Prospa b2b Skream, and The Dare b2b Fcukers. For a game launch, that is a serious amount of DJ firepower on one poster.
