Miami locals and visitors have a special treat coming up: Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival. To celebrate the game’s long-awaited launch, Rockstar Games and PlayStation are bringing a day of GTA music to Mana Wynwood in Miami on Saturday, November 21, 2026. Produced by the creators of III Points, the event puts artists from GTA VI and its soundtrack, including Travis Scott, Justice (DJ set), Prospa b2b Skream, The Dare b2b Fcukers and Cardi B, across two stages. The official festival page has the lineup and visitor information.
For anyone coming for the music, there is plenty to plan a night around: solo artists, shared DJ sets and a Cactus Jack bill. The trick is deciding what you want to catch before your group gets pulled in different directions.
Tickets dropped for lottery winners on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, and everyone else now has to join the waitlist on DICE, cross their fingers and hope for a drop. If you can’t make it or don’t get the ticket you want, jump below for other parties happening in Miami that weekend. For the more hopeful, here’s a closer look at the lineup, getting into Mana and what to do if you still need a ticket.
What is GTA VI: The Festival?
It is a music festival celebrating Grand Theft Auto VI, with the game providing the theme and the artists providing the reason to spend the night there. You don’t need to be the person in your group who knows every GTA reference to build a list of sets you want to see.
Start with the music you already know, then listen to a few of the names you don’t. A mixed bill is a good excuse to leave room for a set you would not normally buy a standalone ticket for. If you are going with friends who have different tastes, compare your shortlists before the day rather than trying to agree in the middle of a crowd.
Who is on the GTA VI festival lineup?
The announced lineup includes:
- Cactus Jack label takeover. Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and Sofaygo
- Cardi B
- Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso
- Justice (DJ set)
- Metro Boomin
- Nick León b2b DJ Python
- Prospa b2b Skream
- Rauw & Friends
- Suero
- Tainy
- The Dare b2b Fcukers (DJ set)
For our scene newbies: when an artist who also plays live shows is billed for a DJ set, the focus is on mixing tunes throughout rather than performing their own songs, so don’t expect the same production as their live show. B2B means back to back, where two DJs mix together in one shared slot.
For a b2b pairing you haven’t heard before, try listening to a mix from each artist. It gives you a better starting point than assuming they will play only their own releases. Leave some room for surprises; that is part of the appeal of putting two selectors together.
Once the running order is available, choose a couple of sets you really do not want to miss and work around those. Don’t build a schedule from the order of names on the poster. A lineup tells you who is booked, not when to arrive at a stage or which performances might overlap.
Getting to Mana Wynwood: the basics
The venue address is 318 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127, but festival entry is through 5th Avenue. There is no on-site parking. Check Rockstar’s arrival instructions for the latest drop-off information before setting off.
GTA VI: The Festival takes place on the same grounds as III Points, Miami’s long-running music festival, which has packed 13 stages and nearly 300 artists into the site. Some of us at CrowdVolt have been to III Points and can confirm it’s a banger, but that’s beside the point.
Mana is in Wynwood, Miami’s arts district. Save the posted entrance location separately from the venue’s general map pin, and check any festival maps Rockstar shares. Send the same pin to your group so nobody is waiting on the other side of the site. If you are meeting friends there, choose a specific landmark you can all identify, rather than “by the entrance.”
Plan the trip home before you arrive, too: this event will bring a big crowd and getting out can get chaotic. Agree on who is leaving together, check that everyone has their hotel or home address saved, and keep enough phone battery for the journey. If your group splits up for different sets, decide where you will meet afterward. Trying to find one person in a crowd is much easier when you already have a fallback meeting point.
What to bring, and what to leave at home
The festival is 17+ for entry, or 21+ for alcohol, per the III Points event policies. Bring valid physical photo ID: digital and school IDs are not accepted. A U.S. government photo ID or passport is accepted; check the full policy for foreign licences or temporary documents.
Put your ID with the things you check before leaving: phone, ticket account and payment method. A photo of your ID is not a substitute for bringing the document. If you are travelling, decide in advance how you will keep it secure during the night.
- Clear bags. up to 12 × 6 × 12 inches.
- Small bags, including non-clear bags. up to 6 × 9 inches.
- Hydration packs. at most two main compartments and one smaller compartment, with the bladder empty on arrival.
- Reusable water bottles. empty on entry.
Measure your bag instead of guessing from how small it looks. The prohibited-items list includes toy guns, public-safety-style costumes, outside food and drink, and professional camera equipment. The game’s theme does not change the entry rules.
Eat before joining the entry line, and check the weather before choosing what to wear. Comfortable shoes and a bag you do not need to keep adjusting will matter more several hours into the night than they do in a mirror. Pack for the time you expect to spend there, not just the trip from your car or hotel.
There is no re-entry for GTA VI: The Festival. Finish anything that requires leaving the grounds before you go in, including dropping things off or finding the friend who is close by but came separately. Don’t make a plan that depends on popping out and coming back.
Accessibility at the festival
The accessibility guide describes asphalt and grass terrain, accessible routes and stage viewing areas. Visit the on-site ADA Hub for a free accessibility wristband; no separate accessibility ticket is required. Wheelchair and scooter rentals are not provided.
Read the full guide before travelling if you need assistance, and leave time to visit the hub before your first must-see set. Discuss your route with your companion ahead of time, especially if your group wants to move between performances. The organizer’s information is the place to check specific access arrangements rather than relying on someone’s experience at a different Mana event.
Want tickets? Cross your fingers and get on the official waitlist
As of November 13, the lottery has closed and Rockstar directs fans to the ticket waitlist. HudWire reported the DICE sale sold out on November 11. Use the official ticket page for current availability and the checkout total.
If you have only entered a lottery or joined a queue, check your actual ticket status before committing to travel. Those steps are not the same as completing a purchase. Ask everyone in your group to do the same; “I signed up” can mean very different things when you are arranging a trip.
For more on how the DICE waitlist works, check out our recent post: Sold out on DICE?
- Follow the ticket link from the official festival site to DICE.
- Open the matching event, select the waitlist option and choose your requested quantity.
- Enable DICE notifications and watch the email address attached to your account.
- If an offer arrives, complete the purchase within the deadline shown.
DICE’s waitlist guide says returned tickets are offered to fans in queue order. Purchase windows can range from 20 minutes to two hours, so follow the deadline on your offer. Joining the list does not guarantee tickets, and an offer still needs to be paid for.
Before an offer arrives, agree with your friend on the budget and who will pay. That saves a round of missed calls while the reservation timer is running. Once you buy, check that the tickets appear in your account and read the event instructions rather than assuming the process will match another show.
Can you buy a resale ticket for this festival?
CrowdVolt’s page for the event already has ticket holders offering theirs up for purchase. If you don’t want to wait on the waitlist or risk not getting a ticket at all, check the listings and grab yours on CrowdVolt.
Making a Miami weekend of it
If you are staying longer, keep the rest of your plans flexible until your festival ticket is confirmed. You can still put together a shortlist of other nights you would enjoy, then choose once you know your schedule. Check the date, venue, age limit and ticket conditions for each event separately.
Miami is always bumping, and it can feel especially true if you only visit now and then. With or without tickets to GTA VI: The Festival, you can have a weekend of new music and dance floor grooves across the city.
Browse Miami events on CrowdVolt for other nights and available listings. These are separate plans, not admission to GTA VI: The Festival. John Summit is at Kaseya Center on Friday and Saturday for his arena tour. Chris Lorenzo and Sammy Virji take over Club Space on Friday night, and Justice is back at Space on Saturday for The Vault with Barry Can’t Swim and Overmono. D.O.D. plays LIV Nightclub on Saturday. If Factory Town is on your list, our first-visit guide covers what to consider before heading there.
Really, there’s no reason not to go out next weekend, and CrowdVolt can help you get there.
When and where is GTA VI: The Festival?
Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Mana Wynwood in Miami. Use the festival’s designated entrance rather than assuming the general venue pin is the gate.
Does joining the DICE waitlist guarantee a ticket?
No. It puts you in line for tickets that may become available. If you receive an offer, you still need to buy before its deadline.
What should I check before leaving for the festival?
Your ticket in your account, physical ID, bag size, entrance location and journey home. Check the organizer’s latest instructions for any changes before travelling.
