Rockstar's October 8 Newswire reveal gave us six GTA 6 radio stations with celebrity hosts — Bad Bunny, Burna Boy, Kerry King and more — plus the series' first on-demand podcasts. Here's every station and playlist detail confirmed so far.
Last Thursday — October 8, if your calendar matters — Rockstar did something it rarely does. It gave us actual content about GTA 6, weeks before launch, and it wasn't another car chase trailer. The Rockstar Newswire announced six GTA 6 radio stations, complete with celebrity hosts, playlist names, and a new music page on rockstargames.com where you can preview each station in two-minute samples. Oh, and one more thing buried in the announcement: Grand Theft Auto VI is the first game in the series with on-demand podcasts.
Let's be honest — radio is where Vice City won. 2002's Emotion 98.3 still lives in every millennial's head. So Rockstar calling this the "biggest and widest-ranging selection of in-game radio yet" is a serious promise. Here's what's actually confirmed so far, with each station getting two hosts.
The Latin station: Bad Bunny goes full El Martillo
The modern Latin station covers bachata, merengue, dembow, and reggaeton. The hosts are El Martillo, voiced by Bad Bunny, and La Gata, voiced by RaiNao. Benito's own track "EoO" is confirmed in the rotation, which means somewhere in Leonida you'll be doing 90 down the Palmetto Expressway while a global superstar DJs your getaway.
Back Country Radio: country with a Vice City edge
The renegade country station is hosted by MW (voiced by Morgan Wallen) and Delta Dawne (voiced by Lana Del Rey), with roving reporter Mud Dog Mike (voiced by Jeremy Dufrene) filing from the field. The playlist includes Loretta Lynn and David Allan Coe — old-school outlaw country rubbing shoulders with the modern Florida sprawl outside Ambrosia. This is the station that will soundtrack every drive through the Grassrivers wetlands, and I am not mad about it.
AfroBank FM: Burna Boy and Palms Trax
AfroBank FM is hosted by Burna (voiced by Burna Boy) and Palmsy (voiced by Palms Trax), spanning 20th-century African classics through to amapiano and 3-step. This is a genuinely new flavor for the series — GTA radio has touched on Afrobeat-adjacent sounds before, but a dedicated African music station with Burna Boy himself behind the mic is a first.
Classic metal gets the royal treatment with DJ Kerry (voiced by Kerry King of Slayer) and DJ Tom (voiced by Tom Araya, also of Slayer). The confirmed playlist: Black Sabbath, Pantera, Slayer. That's not a station, that's a mosh pit with wheels. The Chamber 106.6 will be the default soundtrack for anyone running a five-star rampage down Ocean Drive.
Flash FM returns
Vice City natives, wipe the tear. Flash FM is back, this time hosted by Robyn and Alex Consani, playing Charli xcx, MGMT, and Zara Larsson with PinkPantheress. Flash FM defined 80s Vice City in 2002 and 2006; its 2026 incarnation leaning into modern pop is a perfect mirror of the city itself — same name, entirely new money.
Dirty South Classics: Trick Daddy and Trina
Regional rap and hip-hop get their due with hosts Trick Daddy and Trina — actual Miami legends — and tracks from David Banner, JT Money, and DJ Khaled. This is the station that gives Leonida its street-level credibility. If any station ends up blasting from every lowrider in Little Haiti's in-game equivalent, it's this one.

What else is confirmed (and what's not)
Rockstar also confirmed classic rock and talk radio options exist beyond these six — so the full dial is bigger than what we've seen. The six named stations are just the beginning. The 34-track GTA VI: The Album, announced separately, suggests licensed music is a much bigger production this time around.
As for the podcasts: Rockstar confirmed they're on-demand, but hasn't explained how they'll work in-game. Will they be story-driven true-crime shows set in Leonida? Talk segments you can pause and resume? Unannounced — file it under "wait and hear." With the game landing November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, we won't be guessing much longer. Seven-day preload starts November 12 for pre-ordered editions, so your first decision might not be which car to steal — it might be which station you tune to first.
