Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to bring a remarkable number of major music names into its in-game airwaves. Rockstar Games has revealed several of the radio stations planned for the long-awaited sequel, along with the artists and personalities attached to them. The list spans Latin music, pop, outlaw country, metal, Southern rap, and Afrobeats, turning the familiar GTA car-radio experience into a larger celebrity-driven part of the world.
Among the most prominent confirmations are Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Robyn, Burna Boy, Morgan Wallen, RaiNao, Trick Daddy, Trina, and Slayer's Kerry King and Tom Araya. Rather than simply licensing tracks from recognizable performers, Rockstar is positioning many of these musicians as hosts or co-hosts with a role in defining their stations' personalities and musical direction.
Radio has always been one of Grand Theft Auto's most defining features. It does more than fill silence during a drive between missions: station chatter, advertisements, DJs, call-in segments, and carefully assembled playlists make the fictional world feel lived in. For GTA 6, Rockstar appears to be expanding that tradition with a lineup that mixes returning station names with new genre-focused outlets and an unusually high-profile collection of voices.
Bad Bunny and RaiNao lead Cocoteo FM
Puerto Rican artists Bad Bunny and RaiNao will host Cocoteo FM, a station dedicated to Latin music. The pairing places two contemporary Puerto Rican voices at the center of a station intended to reflect a wide cultural and musical identity rather than merely functioning as a playlist category.

RaiNao described the station as something that understands "our vibe, our slang, our taste, our pride, our experiences, our traditions, and all our crazy antics." She also said it was meaningful to bring her voice to GTA 6 through a character that feels close to her while putting her culture, music, and people in the spotlight.
That perspective suggests Cocoteo FM may have a particularly strong sense of place. GTA 6 is returning players to Vice City and the surrounding state of Leonida, a setting built around a version of Florida. Given the region's deep connections to Caribbean and Latin American communities, a station hosted by Bad Bunny and RaiNao could become one of the most natural fits in the game's broader cultural landscape.
Lana Del Rey and Morgan Wallen take on outlaw country
Back Country Radio, GTA 6's outlaw country station, will be hosted by Lana Del Rey and Morgan Wallen. The station will also include an additional character with a notably eccentric role: Del Rey's husband, Jeremy Dufrene, voices Mud Dog Mike.
Rockstar describes Mud Dog Mike as Back Country's "roving reporter, swamp meteorologist, and Delta's not-so-secret lover." The description has the exact kind of exaggerated, regionally specific humor that longtime players expect from GTA broadcasts. It also hints that the station will not just be a straight music channel, but a place for ongoing fictional bits connected to the game's swampy and rural corners.
Del Rey called her inclusion in the project special and a privilege. She recalled that some members of her family knew Los Angeles roads on their first visit because they had played Grand Theft Auto V, a reflection of the series' unusual ability to make stylized versions of real-world places feel familiar. Her comments also underline the scale of GTA as a cultural fixture: the games have become recognizable reference points even for people whose connection to them begins with their music, geography, satire, or virtual tourism rather than the main story.
The choice of Del Rey and Wallen for Back Country Radio is especially notable because it gives the station two artists whose public musical identities occupy different spaces around American roots, country, and pop. That combination could help the outlet reach beyond a narrow genre format while retaining the outlaw-country framing Rockstar has announced.
Flash FM returns with Robyn and Alex Consani
One of Vice City's most recognizable radio names is coming back. Flash FM, which first appeared in the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, will return in GTA 6 with pop star Robyn and model Alex Consani as hosts.
The return is a meaningful nod to the series' past. The original Flash FM was a defining piece of Vice City's neon 1980s atmosphere, a station associated with bright pop music and the city's flashy coastal style. GTA 6's version will exist in a different era, but retaining the name creates a direct link between Rockstar's earlier take on Vice City and its new interpretation.
Robyn also has prior Grand Theft Auto history. One of her songs appeared on GTA V's pop station, meaning her arrival as a host continues an existing relationship between her music and the franchise. Bringing in Consani alongside her gives the revived station a two-person hosting setup that should help distinguish its on-air tone from its earlier incarnation.
For players who associate Vice City with late-night drives, beachfront skylines, and pop radio, Flash FM may be one of the most anticipated stations in the lineup. Rockstar's previous games have often used a station's hosts and interstitial programming to sell the mood of a particular neighborhood, social scene, or subculture. Flash FM has an established identity to live up to, but its new hosts offer a chance to make it feel contemporary rather than simply nostalgic.
Metal, Southern rap, and Afrobeats also get major names
The genre range does not end with Latin music, country, and pop. The Chamber 106.6, GTA 6's heavy metal rock station, will be hosted by Kerry King and Tom Araya of Slayer. The station will include a Slayer song, placing the band's presence both behind the microphone and within the music selection.
Heavy music stations have long had a place in Grand Theft Auto, but assigning two members of one of metal's best-known bands as hosts gives The Chamber 106.6 an immediate sense of authority. King and Araya's involvement should also make the station a major draw for players looking for a more aggressive soundtrack during pursuits, chaotic missions, or free-roam destruction.
Elsewhere, Trick Daddy and Trina will host Dirty South Classics. The station's title points toward a focus on Southern rap, an especially fitting genre for a game returning to a Florida-inspired setting. Both artists have major ties to Miami's rap scene, making their participation feel closely connected to the location rather than like a detached celebrity cameo.
AfroBank FM will be co-hosted by Nigerian singer and songwriter Burna Boy and DJ Palms Trax. This station adds another international dimension to the soundtrack and signals that GTA 6's musical ambitions extend well beyond the genres most traditionally associated with an American crime-game setting.

A larger role for musical curation
Grand Theft Auto has featured celebrity radio hosts before. Kenny Loggins hosted a station in GTA V, while Iggy Pop hosted one in GTA IV. Those appearances established that Rockstar was willing to use real music figures to give individual stations credibility and character.
GTA 6's announced group feels broader in scale, however. It is not one famous presenter attached to one major genre. It is a network of artists from different musical worlds, with several stations receiving recognizable hosts at once. The result could make the radio dial feel more deliberately curated, with each station carrying a distinct perspective as well as a distinct sound.
There are also signs that the musicians have had input beyond recording a few lines. The announced participation is framed around artists helping to curate the music and the overall feel of their stations. If that involvement is reflected in playlists, presentation, and commentary, it could make the radio selection feel less like a collection of licensed songs and more like a series of programmed spaces with their own point of view.
That distinction matters in GTA. Players routinely spend long stretches of time driving, whether they are following a mission route, escaping police, exploring coastlines, or simply idling in a parked vehicle. A strong station can define those unscripted moments. Hearing the right track, joke, weather update, or bizarre commercial at the right time is part of why the series' soundtracks endure long after a campaign ends.
Vice City's soundtrack is shaping up as a major event
The full radio lineup and complete song lists have not been detailed here, so there is still plenty to learn about how all of GTA 6's stations will fit together. But the announced names alone establish a high bar. Rockstar is drawing on musicians with enormous audiences while also selecting hosts whose backgrounds align with the styles and regional textures of their assigned stations.
For returning players, Flash FM's revival provides a direct connection to classic Vice City. For newer listeners, Cocoteo FM, AfroBank FM, Dirty South Classics, Back Country Radio, and The Chamber 106.6 promise a more varied set of moods for exploring Leonida. Whether someone wants polished pop by the water, country through the swamps, metal during mayhem, or Latin music in the city, GTA 6 appears determined to make the choice of radio station part of the experience rather than a background detail.
With GTA 6 expected on November 19, the radio is already emerging as one of the game's most exciting pieces. The series has always understood that a drive can become memorable because of what is playing through the speakers. This time, the people introducing the songs may be just as notable as the songs themselves.
