GTA 6 Radio Stations & Soundtrack Leaks: Every Confirmed Song So Far
Original illustration by GameVexo — not an in-game screenshot.
Rockstar still hasn’t dropped an official GTA 6 radio station list, but the internet has done a lot of digging anyway. Between trailer needle-drops, deleted Instagram comments, and a podcast slip from a Grammy-winning producer, we now have a clearer (if messy) picture of what you’ll be listening to in Vice City.
Music has always been part of what makes a GTA game feel alive, and GTA 6 looks set to lean on it even harder than past entries. With the November 19, 2026 release date locked in and Rockstar’s marketing push ramping up this summer, here’s a complete, regularly updated breakdown of every confirmed song, leaked station, and rumored artist tied to the GTA 6 soundtrack.
- Six songs are officially confirmed through GTA 6’s two trailers, including tracks by Tom Petty and The Pointer Sisters.
- V-Rock appears to be returning, spotted as a faded logo on a t-shirt Jason wears in official promo footage.
- Artists Panama, Neon Indian, T-Pain, and ScHoolboy Q have all hinted at their own involvement in the soundtrack.
- A resurfaced Jermaine Dupri interview has revived claims that Drake will get his own upload-enabled radio station.
- GTA 6 releases November 19, 2026, with Rockstar expected to reveal more music and stations this summer.
Background
GTA 6 takes players back to a modern-day Vice City, this time as part of the much larger state of Leonida. If you haven’t kept up with where everything sits on the new map, our GTA 6 map leak breakdown and map size comparison cover the swamps, small towns, and rural stretches that go well beyond the city itself. That wider setting matters for the soundtrack too, since Rockstar tends to match radio genres to the regions players drive through.
Radio has been part of the series’ identity since the first 3D GTA games, and it only grew bigger from there. GTA 5 launched with more than 240 licensed songs spread across 17 stations, and that number eventually passed 750 once GTA Online kept adding more over the years. With GTA 6 confirmed for November 19, 2026 (you can check pre-order details in our GTA 6 pre-order guide), fans expect Rockstar to try to top that scale, especially with so many of the game’s characters tied to the music industry in some way.
What We Know
So far, nothing about the GTA 6 radio lineup has come from an official Rockstar press release. What we do have is a small but solid list of songs confirmed through the two trailers Rockstar has released, plus a string of leaks and artist slip-ups that fill in some of the gaps. Here’s the confirmed list:
- “Love Is a Long Road” — Tom Petty (1989), the centerpiece of Trailer 1
- “Hot Together” — The Pointer Sisters (1986), the main track in Trailer 2
- “Thunder Island” — Jay Ferguson (1977), heard at the start of Trailer 2
- “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” — Wang Chung, heard on Jason’s car radio in Trailer 2
- “Child Support” — Zenglen, a Haitian compas track also heard on the car radio
- “Talkin’ To Myself Again” — Tammy Wynette (1987), the country pick from the same scene
Rockstar has a long track record of putting trailer songs on the final in-game radio, so all six are considered safe bets for the launch soundtrack. The Tammy Wynette pick is especially interesting, since it hints GTA 6 could get its first proper country station since San Andreas, which would fit the rural parts of Leonida.
“It ain’t the end of me and Rockstar Games.”
Alan Palomo (Neon Indian) — This Podcast Should Be Played Loud, January 2026That comment from Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo lines up with a wider pattern of artists accidentally tipping their own involvement. Panama, a collaborator from GTA V’s Radio Mirror Park, briefly confirmed on Instagram that a 2023 track made with the band Poolside would appear on GTA 6 radio before quietly deleting the comment. T-Pain has said Rockstar asked him to stop appearing on GTA roleplay servers during development, which fans read as a sign of a real working relationship. ScHoolboy Q made a similar claim on social media. None of this is official, but the pattern of “leak, then delete” has become its own kind of evidence in the GTA 6 rumor mill. The trailer songs have already proven how much attention this soundtrack gets — Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road” saw its Spotify streams jump by roughly 37,000% after Trailer 1, and “Hot Together” by The Pointer Sisters spiked even harder, by around 182,000%, after Trailer 2.

V-Rock and the Returning Stations
Right now, V-Rock is the closest thing to a confirmed radio station in GTA 6. It comes from a single clip on the official GTA 6 site where Jason is shown wearing a faded t-shirt with an updated version of the V-Rock logo, the same hard rock and metal station from GTA: Vice City. Beyond that one near-confirmation, most of the rest is educated guesswork based on the trailer songs and the setting. Expect some form of classic rock station given the Tom Petty and Jay Ferguson picks, an ’80s-leaning pop or retro station in the spirit of Flash FM and Wave 103, a country station thanks to Tammy Wynette and Leonida’s rural areas, and a Latin or Caribbean-influenced station given the Zenglen track and South Florida’s Haitian community.
Celebrity-Hosted Stations: Drake, DJ Khaled, and More
The most talked-about rumor right now involves Drake. Producer Jermaine Dupri said in an interview that Drake has his own station in the game and could even upload previously unheard tracks straight into it, similar to how some real artists treat streaming platforms. Separately, a leaker who normally covers Call of Duty claimed DJ Khaled would host his own station playing his own production work, much like Cara Delevingne and Frank Ocean hosted stations in GTA V. Travis Scott has also been linked to the game after appearing to drop a GTA 6 easter egg in one of his own music videos. None of this is confirmed by Rockstar, but artist-hosted stations are very much part of the series’ DNA at this point.
Community Reaction
Reaction across Reddit and X has been mixed but mostly excited. Plenty of longtime fans are happy to see V-Rock teased again and are hoping for a real country station this time around, while others are more skeptical about big-name guest hosts like DJ Khaled crowding out the kind of obscure, genre-specific stations the series is known for. There’s also a steady stream of wishlist posts asking for classic Florida hip-hop, throwback Vice City synth-pop, and deep cuts instead of only chart-toppers, which is roughly what Rockstar has delivered in past games.
What’s Next
Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6’s launch marketing ramps up this summer, so expect a Trailer 3 and at least a partial soundtrack reveal before the November 19, 2026 release date. Pre-orders are already open on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S — our GTA 6 pre-order guide breaks down both editions and pricing. PC players planning ahead should also check our GTA 6 PC system requirements guide once it’s confirmed, since past Rockstar titles have launched on console first.
