Rockstar Games has officially pulled back the curtain on GTA 6's radio stations and music lineup — and it is, predictably, stacked. Six stations. A-list DJ hosts. Thirty-four original tracks. And a genre spread that runs from Miami bass to black metal. Here is everything confirmed directly by Rockstar, labeled clearly so you know exactly what is fact and what is still unannounced.
The Six Confirmed Radio Stations
Rockstar has officially named six radio stations that will broadcast across Leonida when GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026. Each station comes with its own tagline, genre identity, and a celebrity DJ host whose real identity was confirmed by Rolling Stone.
| Station Name | Genre | DJ Host (Real Name) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unnamed Hip-Hop/Regional Rap Station | Southern rap, hip-hop classics | Trick Daddy & Trina | ✅ Confirmed |
| Station hosted by Bad Bunny | Latin, reggaeton | Bad Bunny | ✅ Confirmed |
| Station hosted by Lana Del Rey | Alt/indie, atmospheric | Lana Del Rey | ✅ Confirmed |
| Station featuring DJ Khaled | Hip-hop/pop crossover | DJ Khaled | ✅ Confirmed |
| Additional station(s) | TBA | TBA | ⏳ Unannounced |
The full official station names and complete DJ rosters across all six slots have not yet been published by Rockstar. Treat any "complete list" elsewhere as partially filled with estimation.
Confirmed Artists and Songs
Rockstar's official music page lists 34 original tracks created specifically for GTA 6, alongside licensed music from established and emerging artists. The following names and tracks are confirmed via Rockstar's own announcements or the official rockstargames.com/VI/music page.
Artists Officially Confirmed
- Travis Scott — confirmed track on the official soundtrack page
- Cardi B — confirmed, consistent with Rockstar's Leonida world profiles
- Bad Bunny — confirmed as both artist and DJ host
- Trick Daddy & Trina — confirmed as DJ hosts and featured artists, described as "regional rap and hip-hop classics from the beach to the block"
- Fuerza Regida — confirmed appearance
- Charli XCX — confirmed
- MGMT — confirmed
- DJ Khaled — confirmed as DJ host
- Black Sabbath — confirmed (suggesting a rock/metal station or slot)
- Keith Richards — confirmed
- Yung Lean — confirmed
- CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso — confirmed
- PinkPantheress — confirmed
- Fred again.. — confirmed
- Etienne de Crécy — confirmed
- Morgan Wallen — confirmed ("Last Thing You Need")
- Lana Del Rey — confirmed as DJ host and likely featured artist
That is a deliberately wide net. Southern hip-hop. Latin trap. Classic rock. Hyperpop. Country. Electronic. Rockstar is not picking a lane — and that is entirely by design.
What Does the Music Actually Tell Us About the World?
GTA games have always used radio to do worldbuilding that cutscenes cannot. The station lineup for GTA 6 is doing the same thing, and the choices are pointed.
Why Trick Daddy and Trina Make Perfect Sense
Trick Daddy and Trina are not just famous Miami rappers — they are Miami rap. Both artists built careers on the specific texture of South Florida street culture: the heat, the hustle, the coastal bravado. Putting them behind the mic on a station described as "southern hospitality" and "from the beach to the block" is Rockstar planting a flag. This is not a generic fictional Vice City — it is Leonida, with real regional identity baked in.
Bad Bunny as a DJ Host: What It Signals
Bad Bunny is the most-streamed artist on Spotify multiple years running. His presence as a DJ host — not just a featured artist — signals that Latin music is not a side genre on one station. It is a pillar of the world. Leonida's demographic reality (Florida's large Latino population) is being reflected directly in the soundtrack architecture.
Keith Richards and Black Sabbath: The Rock Wildcard
Both confirmations suggest at least one station dedicated to classic and hard rock. GTA V had Radio Mirror Park and Channel X for alternative and punk. GTA 6 appears to be going heavier. Black Sabbath is not background noise — it is a tonal statement about one corner of Leonida's culture.
The 34 Original Tracks: What That Number Means
Rockstar says GTA 6 will feature 34 original tracks "capturing the energy of its world." For context, GTA V's score (composed by Tangerine Dream, Woody Jackson, and others) was praised for how it shifted dynamically with gameplay. Thirty-four originals is a serious investment — not filler. Expect these to drive chase sequences, heist moments, and story beats rather than sit on a radio dial.
What Is Still Not Confirmed
Here is the part most roundups skip. Despite the confirmed details above, significant gaps remain as of the writing of this article.
- Full station names — Rockstar has not published official names for all six stations
- Complete tracklists per station — only preview songs have been shared, not full playlists
- Total licensed track count — the "34 originals" figure does not cover licensed music volume
- In-game Spotify integration — reported but not confirmed by Rockstar; treat as rumor until official
- Score composers — the team behind the original 34 tracks has not been announced
- Full DJ roster — additional hosts beyond those named above may exist
Any source claiming to have the "complete GTA 6 radio station list" right now is filling gaps with guesswork. That is fair to note — but it means you should verify against rockstargames.com/VI/music before treating any list as final.
How This Compares to Previous GTA Soundtracks
| Game | Setting | Station Count | Notable DJ/Artist | Defining Genre |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GTA: Vice City (2002) | 1980s Miami | 9 | Lazlow Jones | Synthpop, rock, Miami bass |
| GTA: San Andreas (2004) | Early-90s California | 11 | Various fictional DJs | West Coast hip-hop, funk |
| GTA V (2013) | Modern Los Santos | 17 | Flying Lotus, Bootsy Collins | Electronic, hip-hop, alt |
| GTA 6 (2026) | Modern Leonida/Vice City | 6 confirmed (est. more) | Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, DJ Khaled | Latin, Southern hip-hop, electronic |
Six confirmed stations is fewer than GTA V's seventeen at launch, but Rockstar has not said six is the total. (est.) — the final count is likely higher; six is simply what has been officially previewed.
The Vice City Effect: Why This Soundtrack Has More Pressure Than GTA V's
GTA V's Los Santos was a fictional Los Angeles. Familiar, but abstracted. Leonida is a fictional Florida — and Florida, specifically Miami, has one of the most recognizable sound identities of any American city. Miami bass, reggaeton, Haitian hip-hop, crunk, hyper-pop — the audience knows what Miami sounds like. Rockstar cannot fake it.
The Trick Daddy and Trina casting is proof they are not trying to. Cardi B, Fuerza Regida, and Bad Bunny extend that into the Latin and New York-Florida crossover lanes that define modern South Florida music culture. This soundtrack is doing cultural homework, not just brand partnerships.
That is a meaningful upgrade from GTA V, where the radio was broad but sometimes felt like a premium streaming playlist rather than a place. GTA 6's radio — at least based on the confirmed names — is trying to feel like a specific place at a specific moment.
When Will Rockstar Reveal the Full Soundtrack?
No official date has been given for a complete tracklist reveal. Based on Rockstar's pattern with GTA V — where the full radio lineup was only fully known after launch — expect the majority of stations and songs to remain undisclosed until November 19, 2026. Pre-release reveals are deliberate drips, not full drops.
