You can hear Leonida’s radio stations before you ever get behind the wheel. On October 8, 2026, Rockstar announced six GTA 6 stations, with reported hosts including Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Morgan Wallen and Slayer’s Kerry King and Tom Araya. The game arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, alongside a 34-track album.
That gives you six weeks to find your first favorite station. Classic rock and talk radio are still to come, while the first reveal already gives you plenty to check out.

All Six GTA 6 Stations at a Glance
Your first choice might come down to the music, but the voices between songs could matter just as much. You get Latin music, country, African music, metal, pop and Southern rap across the six announced stations. Some familiar artists use fictional names, so this table connects each station with the people reportedly behind its microphones.
| Station and alternate name | Music you can expect | In-game DJs and contributors | Reported performers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cocoteo, also Cocoteo FM | Contemporary Latin music, including bachata, merengue, dembow and reggaeton | El Martillo and La Gata | Bad Bunny and RaiNao |
| Back Country, also Back Country Radio | Country with an outlaw streak | MW and Delta Dawne, with reports from Mud Dog Mike | Morgan Wallen, Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene |
| Afro Bank FM, also AfroBank FM | Amapiano, older African recordings and 3-step | Burna and Palmsy | Burna Boy and Palms Trax |
| The Chamber, also The Chamber 106.6 | Metal stretching from the 1980s onward | DJ Kerry and DJ Tom | Kerry King and Tom Araya of Slayer |
| Flash FM | Pop | Robyn and Alex | Robyn and Alex Consani |
| Dirty South Classics | Southern rap and older regional hip-hop favorites | Trick and Trina | Trick Daddy and Trina |
You see, the names on Rockstar’s music page are the characters’ names. The performer identities come from announcement coverage, which is why you might recognize Lana Del Rey in an article but see Delta Dawne on the station listing.
Who the Celebrity DJs Are
Recognizing a name is one thing. Knowing who you’ll actually hear on the radio takes a little more explanation, especially when singers become fictional presenters and a country station gets its own swamp weather reporter. Here’s how the reported cast fits together.
Bad Bunny and RaiNao on Cocoteo
On Cocoteo, you get Bad Bunny as El Martillo and RaiNao as La Gata. The station’s Spanish slogan promises a party that keeps going, which fits its reggaeton, dembow, bachata and merengue selection.
Speaking to Pitchfork, as reported by Complex, RaiNao described the station as carrying their own language, musical preferences, traditions and sense of mischief. You’ll hear Bad Bunny in the playlist too, with “EoO” among its first three announced songs.
Lana Del Rey, Morgan Wallen and Mud Dog Mike
Back Country puts you in the company of Morgan Wallen’s MW and Lana Del Rey’s Delta Dawne. Jeremy Dufrene plays Mud Dog Mike, a weather reporter working from an airboat in the Grassrivers. A country broadcast with swamp forecasts? That’s part of the setup here.
Del Rey told Rolling Stone that taking the role felt personally meaningful and an honor, according to GTA Boom and Destructoid. She also recalled relatives recognizing Los Angeles roads through their experience playing GTA V. If you’ve ever remembered a game’s streets better than actual directions, you can probably see the appeal.
Slayer, Robyn, Burna Boy and Miami Rap Royalty
For metal, you get Slayer members Kerry King and Tom Araya as DJ Kerry and DJ Tom on The Chamber. Returning pop station Flash FM pairs Swedish singer Robyn with model Alex Consani.
Afro Bank FM puts Burna Boy and Palms Trax behind the names Burna and Palmsy. Over on Dirty South Classics, you’ll hear Trick Daddy and Trina hosting the regional rap selection.
Songs Confirmed So Far, Station by Station
You have 18 reported songs to check out so far, with three attached to each announced station. That’s enough to get a feel for the music, though it isn’t the complete playlist for any of them. Here’s the station-by-station list reported by PC Guide and Forbes, with artists and years included.

- Trailer music. You’ve already heard tracks by Tom Petty, the Pointer Sisters and Wang Chung in GTA 6 promotions, but their station assignments haven’t been confirmed.
- Extra tracks. GTABase lists additional songs, including “Rhinestone Cowboy,” “The Fireman” and “Girl.” You should treat those additions as unconfirmed until Rockstar verifies them.
Grand Theft Auto VI The Album and Its Singles
Your GTA 6 listening doesn’t have to stop when you close the game. Announced by Rockstar and Atlantic Records on September 17, Grand Theft Auto VI The Album brings you 34 original recordings inspired by Vice City and Leonida, with a November 19 release. Eight singles are already available, so you can start with these.
- Yung Lean. “That’s It,” featuring Future and Metro Boomin.
- Travis Scott. “RHYNO,” produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.
- CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crecy. “Sexy Magic.”
- Morgan Wallen. “Last Thing You Need,” which entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 9.
- Rauw Alejandro. “Macacoa 2000.”
- Keith Richards. “Bright Lights, Big City.”
- Cardi B. “Don’t Chart,” one of the two newer October releases.
- Fuerza Regida. “Suzuki,” the other October addition.
You can hear every single in full through Rockstar’s music page. If you’d rather own a physical copy, you have several options, including a limited vinyl edition with liquid inside.
| Format | Price or availability |
|---|---|
| Streaming | Pre-save available ahead of the November 19 release |
| CD in a jewel case | $19.98 |
| Splatter vinyl | $49.98 |
| Limited liquid-filled vinyl | $124.98 |
| Retailer-specific colored vinyl | Editions offered through selected retailers and independent record stores |
Those retailer editions include options through Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, Urban Outfitters and Blood Records. Your choice comes down to how you want to listen and whether a particular physical edition appeals to you.
Podcasts and Listening on Foot
You won’t need to stay in a parked car just to keep listening. GTA 6 lets you hear radio and podcasts while walking, using headphones or earbuds connected to Jason’s or Lucia’s phone. It also introduces on-demand podcasts to the series, so here’s what you can expect from the announced features.
- Listening beyond the car. You can take radio and podcasts with you on foot through the characters’ phones. That means leaving a vehicle no longer has to end your listening.
- Podcasts on demand. These are presented as programs you can play on demand, rather than broadcasts you simply join while they’re already running. The exact episode selection screen hasn’t been shown.
- Titles and presenters. You don’t yet have a confirmed list of podcast names or hosts. Rockstar has announced the feature without identifying the programs.
- A different format from talk radio. Earlier GTA games used continuously running talk stations. With podcasts, you get a separate on-demand option, although Rockstar hasn’t explained every playback control.
You see, the change is about both where you listen and how you access a program. What remains unclear is how those choices will appear on the characters’ phones.
How to Hear the Stations Before Launch
You can already sample all six announced stations through Rockstar’s GTA VI music page. The same page gives you full album singles, so you have more to play than short station previews. If you want to hear what’s available and prepare for November 19, follow these steps.
- Open the music page. Visit Rockstar’s GTA VI music page, find the radio section and select “Preview Station” for whichever channel interests you. Repeat that for the other five to compare their music.
- Play the singles. Head to the singles section to hear the eight released tracks in full. These give you an early listen to the companion album.
- Pre-save the album. Use the digital album option to reach the available streaming choices. Select your preferred service ahead of the November 19 release.
- Choose a physical edition if you want one. The shop includes CD and vinyl preorders. Check the edition and price before ordering, especially if you’re considering the limited liquid-filled vinyl.
- Keep the launch dates handy. NBC Miami reports that game pre-downloads begin November 12, ahead of the November 19 launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. If you’re curious about other ways in, see whether you can play GTA 6 through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
What Rockstar Has Not Revealed Yet
Six stations give you a useful starting point, but you still don’t have the complete radio lineup. Rockstar has mentioned classic rock and talk radio without naming their stations, and more music announcements are promised. Before you treat any circulating list as complete, keep these gaps in mind.
- Total station count. Rockstar hasn’t announced a final number. PC Guide notes that GTA IV and GTA V each launched with 18 stations, but that doesn’t establish how many you’ll get this time.
- Remaining station names. Classic rock and talk radio are mentioned officially. Complex also reports blues and electronic formats, though their station identities remain unknown.
- Podcast details. You’re still waiting for program titles, presenter names and a fuller explanation of playback.
- Complete playlists. The 18 reported songs give you three tracks per station. They don’t tell you everything each channel will play.
- Dynamic score. Rockstar has promised further details about the game’s score, but those details haven’t been shared yet.
- An R&B station. No dedicated R&B channel has been announced. That leaves its inclusion unanswered.
Fan Lists and Leaks to Treat With Care
You may find longer lists naming V-Rock, Symphony FM, Worldwide FM and other stations. GTABase includes those names, but they aren’t confirmed on Rockstar’s music page, so you shouldn’t count them as announced channels.
The same caution applies to claims about leaked footage and extra tracks assigned to existing stations. Treat those as unverified until an official announcement gives you something firmer.
Where This Leaves Players Ahead of November 19
You already have six stations to sample, celebrity hosts to get familiar with and eight album singles to play before GTA 6 arrives. The remaining stations, complete playlists and podcast lineup are still to come, so there’s plenty left for Rockstar to explain. For now, you can get a feel for Leonida’s music without waiting for launch day. Here are a few ways to make the wait more enjoyable.
- Preview the stations. Try all six on Rockstar’s music page, including genres you wouldn’t usually choose. You might find your first favorite somewhere unexpected.
- Pre-save the album. Add the November 19 release through your preferred streaming service, then listen to the available singles on a good pair of noise cancelling earbuds.
- Get your headphones ready. Check your own listening setup before launch, including how to connect Bluetooth headphones to your PS5.
- Pick something to play meanwhile. Look through this month’s PS Plus games if you subscribe, and give yourself something to enjoy while the remaining announcements arrive.
