Rockstar has officially confirmed the first six GTA 6 radio stations, and the GTA 6 DJ lineup is unlike anything the series has attempted before. We're talking Grammy-winning artists, metal legends, and genre-defining voices hosting dedicated stations inside Vice City. This is the confirmed list — no speculation, no leaks. Every host and station below traces directly back to Rockstar's official announcement.
GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026. Here's everything you need to know about the soundtrack before you hit the road.
Every Confirmed GTA 6 Radio Station and Host
Six stations have been named so far. Rockstar has described the game's music offering as the "biggest and widest-ranging selection of in-game radio yet" — and the announced roster already makes a strong case for that claim.
| Station Name | Genre | Confirmed Hosts | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cocoteo FM | Modern Latin (bachata, merengue, dembow, reggaeton) | El Martillo & La Gata (Bad Bunny & RaiNao) | Confirmed |
| Back Country Radio | Renegade country | Lana Del Rey, Morgan Wallen | Confirmed |
| AfroBank FM | African music (Afrobeats, classic & contemporary) | Burna Boy, Palms Trax (as Palmsy) | Confirmed |
| The Chamber 106.6 | Metal / heavy rock | Kerry King & Tom Araya (Slayer) | Confirmed |
| Flash FM | TBA | TBA | Confirmed returning; hosts TBA |
| Station 6 (unnamed) | TBA | TBA | Confirmed; details TBA |
Additional stations beyond these six are expected. Rockstar has not given a final total, and the full lineup will almost certainly be revealed closer to launch.
Cocoteo FM: Bad Bunny Brings Modern Latin to Vice City
GTA 6 Bad Bunny is the headline act. The Puerto Rican superstar hosts Cocoteo FM under the in-game alias El Martillo, alongside co-host RaiNao, who appears as La Gata. The station covers modern Latin music — bachata, merengue, dembow, and reggaeton — making it the first dedicated Latin station in the GTA mainline series.
Bad Bunny is the most-streamed artist on Spotify for four consecutive years. Putting him behind the mic of a Vice City radio station isn't a cameo — it's a statement about where mainstream music sits in 2026. Cocoteo FM will almost certainly be one of the most-listened stations in the game.
Back Country Radio: Lana Del Rey in Vice City
GTA 6 Lana Del Rey hosting a station called Back Country Radio is, frankly, perfect casting. The station plays what Rockstar describes as "renegade country" — a subgenre that sits at the raw, outlaw edge of the format, far from polished Nashville pop-country. Lana Del Rey has spoken publicly about learning to drive by playing GTA; she's now inside the game itself.
Morgan Wallen is also confirmed on Back Country Radio. His presence anchors the station's credibility with country's mainstream audience while Lana Del Rey pulls it toward something stranger and more cinematic. That tension is exactly what "renegade country" implies.
AfroBank FM: Burna Boy and the Afrobeats Crossover
AfroBank FM is hosted by Burna Boy (as Burna) and electronic producer Palms Trax (as Palmsy). The station spans African music from 20th-century classics to contemporary Afrobeats — a scope that reflects just how broad "African music" actually is as a category. This is the kind of curatorial ambition that separates AfroBank FM from a simple genre radio slot.
Burna Boy's Grammy-winning profile gives the station immediate international weight. His involvement also signals that GTA 6's soundtrack is being assembled with genuine global reach, not just U.S. chart awareness.
The Chamber 106.6: Slayer's Kerry King and Tom Araya for Metal Fans
GTA has always had a metal station. GTA 6 goes straight to the source: Kerry King and Tom Araya — the core of Slayer — host The Chamber 106.6. Both men are operating under in-game aliases, consistent with Rockstar's approach across all confirmed hosts.
The Chamber 106.6 is the clearest signal that Rockstar is not softening its musical edge for a wider audience. A dedicated heavy metal station hosted by two members of one of the most influential thrash bands of all time is a deliberate choice.
Flash FM: The Returning Legend
Flash FM is the only confirmed returning station. It originally aired in GTA: Vice City (2002) and its revival is a direct nod to the game's Miami-era setting. Host details have not been announced yet. Given the brand recognition of Flash FM among long-term fans, Rockstar is likely holding that reveal as a separate moment.
GTA 6 Radio vs. GTA 5: How Does the Scale Compare?
GTA 5 launched with 17 radio stations — a number that set the series benchmark in 2013. Notable among them were West Coast Classics, FlyLo FM (curated by Flying Lotus), and Lowdown 91.1. Several more were added post-launch, including West Coast Talk Radio and Channel X.
| Feature | GTA V (2013) | GTA 6 (2026, confirmed so far) |
|---|---|---|
| Launch stations | 17 | 6+ confirmed, total TBA |
| Celebrity DJ hosts | Flying Lotus, Soulwax, others | Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Burna Boy, Slayer members, Morgan Wallen |
| On-foot radio playback | Vehicle only | Confirmed (on-foot playback) |
| Podcasts | No | Confirmed (first in series) |
| Latin music station | No dedicated station | Yes — Cocoteo FM |
| African music station | No | Yes — AfroBank FM |
The raw station count for GTA 6 will almost certainly exceed 17 once the full lineup is revealed. But even at six confirmed stations, the ambition already outpaces GTA 5 in one critical way: the celebrity host tier. Flying Lotus was an inspired choice in 2013. Bad Bunny in 2026 is a different order of cultural magnitude.
What's Actually New: On-Demand Podcasts
Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 will introduce on-demand podcasts — a first for the series. This is a significant structural change. In every previous GTA, radio was passive: you got what was playing. Podcasts imply a content layer you choose to start, pause, and return to.
No podcast hosts or titles have been confirmed yet. But the format opens the door to long-form in-character storytelling, fake true-crime series, fake talk radio, and satirical news shows — all of which fit naturally inside GTA's satirical universe.
Why Radio Matters in GTA 6's Vice City World
Radio in GTA has never been purely decorative. It establishes time, place, and tone faster than any cutscene. When you roll through 1986 Vice City in GTA: Vice City with Billie Jean playing, the setting becomes viscerally real. GTA 6's Vice City is set in a contemporary Florida analog, and the radio lineup reflects that: Latin music, Afrobeats, renegade country, and metal are all active fault lines in 2026 American culture.
Cocoteo FM alone says something about the demographics of modern Florida that no piece of dialogue could. AfroBank FM acknowledges a global music shift that U.S. radio was slow to accept. The Chamber 106.6 says this world still has teeth. Back Country Radio with Lana Del Rey says even outliers find their place.
That's not accident. That's world-building through a playlist.
What's Still Unconfirmed
- Total number of radio stations at launch
- Flash FM host(s)
- Identity and genre of the sixth named station
- All podcast hosts and show titles
- Whether post-launch DLC stations are planned (as with GTA Online)
- Full song tracklists for any station
Treat any "full tracklist" articles you see right now as estimates at best, fabrications at worst. Rockstar has not released individual song lists. The confirmed information stops at station names, genres, and host identities.
