Rockstar Games and PlayStation are throwing a one-day festival in Miami to celebrate Grand Theft Auto VI. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival takes over Mana Wynwood on Saturday, November 21, with Travis Scott's Cactus Jack crew, Cardi B, Metro Boomin and a Justice DJ set on a two-stage bill. Tickets are $60, but the only way in is a lottery that closes tomorrow, Tuesday, November 10 at 4pm ET.

The timing is no accident. The festival lands two days after the game's November 19 release, and Rockstar calls it "a one-of-a-kind launch event," pitched as a chance to "experience the music of Vice City and Leonida." According to Rockstar, the lineup draws on artists from the game and its official soundtrack. The event is produced by the team behind Miami festival III Points.

Who's playing

Hip-hop and Latin acts sit at the top, but there's plenty for the dance crowd underneath. Prospa and Skream go back-to-back, as do Nick León and DJ Python, and The Dare teams up with Fcukers for a DJ set. Fcukers are having a busy Miami winter: they're also on Dom Dolla's Good Fortune New Year's Eve bill at Factory Town.

Getting in

Sign up for the lottery at gtavi-thefestival.miami. It's free and limited to one entry per person. Winners are drawn at random and get a one-time code by text by 7pm ET on Tuesday. Codes unlock tickets on DICE starting Wednesday, November 11 at 12pm ET, first come, first served, so a code doesn't guarantee a ticket. Purchases are capped at two per person, and tickets can't be transferred.

Rockstar recommends making a DICE account right after you enter, using the exact same email and phone number as your lottery entry, so your purchase doesn't get flagged as a bot.

The festival is 17+ with valid photo ID, and you need to be 21+ to drink. Everyone enters through 5th Avenue, there's no re-entry and no parking on site, and Rockstar is pushing rideshare. Full event details are at rockstargames.com/VI/gtavi-thefestival.
