On October 8, 2026, Rockstar revealed six GTA 6 radio stations — and the host list reads like a festival lineup. Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Morgan Wallen, Burna Boy, Slayer, Robyn, Trick Daddy, and Trina are all lending their voices to Leonida's airwaves.
This is also the first GTA game with on-demand podcasts you can listen to while walking on foot.
Rockstar described the six stations as a preview, not the complete list. More stations are expected before launch.
Every confirmed station
Cocoteo FM — Modern Latin
| Hosts | El Martillo (Bad Bunny) and La Gata (RaiNao) |
| Genre | Bachata, merengue, dembow, reggaeton |
| Vibe | The biggest station reveal — Bad Bunny brings global Latin music to Vice City |
Bad Bunny — the most-streamed artist on Spotify for multiple years — voices El Martillo, a larger-than-life radio personality. RaiNao, the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter, plays La Gata. The station covers the full spectrum of modern Latin music, from classic bachata to hard dembow.
This is GTA's most ambitious Latin music commitment. Previous games featured Latin tracks scattered across stations, but Cocoteo FM is a dedicated channel reflecting Vice City's deep Caribbean and Latin American cultural roots.
Back Country Radio — Renegade Country
| Hosts | MW (Morgan Wallen) and Delta Dawne (Lana Del Rey) |
| Roving reporter | Mud Dog Mike (Jeremy Dufrene — Lana Del Rey's husband) |
| Genre | Outlaw country, classic country, renegade country |
The pairing of Morgan Wallen and Lana Del Rey is unexpected and brilliant. Wallen — country music's biggest streaming artist — plays MW, while Del Rey brings her Americana aesthetic to Delta Dawne.
Del Rey told Forbes she learned LA's roads playing GTA as a teenager. Now she is a DJ in GTA 6. Her husband Jeremy Dufrene voices Mud Dog Mike, a swamp meteorologist who delivers roving weather reports — a perfect fit for the Grassrivers region.
Confirmed songs:
- David Allan Coe — "Need a Little Time Off for Bad Behavior"
- Loretta Lynn — "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)"
- Hank Williams Jr. & Waylon Jennings — "The Conversation"
AfroBank FM — African Music
| Hosts | Burna (Burna Boy) and Palmsy (Palms Trax) |
| Genre | Amapiano, Afrobeats, 3-step, classic African music |
Burna Boy — the Grammy-winning Nigerian artist — brings African music to GTA for the first time as a dedicated station. Palms Trax, the British DJ known for his eclectic global sets, co-hosts. The station spans 20th-century African classics to current sounds like amapiano and 3-step.
This is a first for the franchise. No previous GTA game has had a dedicated African music station, and its inclusion reflects both Vice City's diverse population and the global rise of Afrobeats.
The Chamber 106.6 — Metal
| Hosts | DJ Kerry (Kerry King) and DJ Tom (Tom Araya) |
| Genre | Metal, thrash metal, heavy metal |
Two members of Slayer — one of the Big Four of thrash metal — host GTA 6's metal station. Kerry King and Tom Araya bring decades of credibility to what promises to be the heaviest station in GTA history.
Confirmed songs:
- Slayer — "Raining Blood" (1986)
- Black Sabbath — "I" (1992)
- Pantera — "I'm Broken" (1994)
The track list already spans three decades of metal. GTA has always had great metal stations — V-Rock in Vice City, Liberty Rock Radio in GTA IV — and The Chamber 106.6 looks like a worthy successor.
Flash FM — Pop (Returning)
| Hosts | Robyn and Alex Consani |
| Genre | Pop |
Flash FM is back. Originally featured in GTA: Vice City (2002), it is the most recognizable returning station name. Swedish pop icon Robyn and model Alex Consani co-host the updated version.
Confirmed artists:
- Charli XCX
- MGMT
- Zara Larsson × PinkPantheress (collaboration)
The return of Flash FM connects GTA 6 directly to the Vice City legacy. The original station was hosted by Toni and played '80s synth-pop — the 2026 version updates the format to modern pop while keeping the name.
Dirty South Classics — Southern Rap
| Hosts | Trick Daddy and Trina |
| Genre | Southern rap, Miami bass, crunk, bounce |
Trick Daddy and Trina — Miami hip-hop royalty — are the natural choice for a Southern rap station set in Vice City. Both artists defined the sound of early 2000s Miami, and their involvement grounds the station in authentic local culture.
Confirmed artists:
- David Banner
- JT Money
The station covers the full Southern rap spectrum: Miami bass, crunk, bounce, and regional rap that defined the real-life city GTA 6's Vice City is based on.
On-demand podcasts: a first for GTA
GTA 6 introduces in-game podcasts — a first for the series:
- Playable anywhere — In vehicles and on foot, through Jason's and Lucia's earbuds connected to their phones
- On-demand — Select which podcast to listen to, not locked to radio rotation
- Satirical content — The podcasts parody true crime, politics, and lifestyle trends in Rockstar's signature style
- Connected to the in-game social media system — Podcasts exist within the same digital ecosystem as Leonida's social media platforms
This is a major change from previous GTA games, where talk radio provided comedy but was locked to specific stations. Podcasts give players curated comedy content they can control.
How this compares to previous GTA games
| Game | Stations | Notable hosts |
|---|---|---|
| GTA: Vice City | 9 | Lazlow, Fernando Martinez |
| GTA: San Andreas | 11 | Axl Rose, George Clinton |
| GTA IV | 19 | Iggy Pop, DJ Premier, Juliette Lewis |
| GTA V | 17 | Flying Lotus, Kenny Loggins, Bootsy Collins |
| GTA 6 | 6+ revealed | Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Burna Boy, Slayer |
GTA 6's revealed count (six) is almost certainly a fraction of the final lineup. GTA V launched with 17 stations, and Rockstar has explicitly called these a "preview." The 34-track companion album suggests a massive music budget.
The GTA VI: The Album connection
The radio stations are separate from Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, the 34-track companion record:
- The Album features original songs written for the game — Travis Scott, Keith Richards, Morgan Wallen, PinkPantheress, Rauw Alejandro, Yung Lean, and more
- Radio stations play a mix of licensed classic tracks and new music
- Justice's score (detailed in our launch trailer breakdown) is the original cinematic score, separate from both
Morgan Wallen's single "Last Thing You Need" appears on The Album, not on Back Country Radio — confirming the two music systems are distinct.
All three — stations, album, and score — launch November 19 with the game. GTA 6 releases on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
