On October 8, 2026, Rockstar added a music page to its GTA VI website. It shows six radio stations, their hosts and a way to preview them. Press reports say that Lana Del Rey is one of the hosts, and that claim holds up: she is named by several large outlets, and Rockstar's page lists her station. We checked Rockstar's page and a range of outlets on October 14, 2026. Below, each fact is marked as official, reported or unknown.
Key takeaways
- Official: six stations are named on Rockstar's music page, with in-game host names, and you can preview some of them there.
- Official: radio and on-demand podcasts can be heard on foot, using headphones connected to the phone.
- Reported by large outlets: the real people behind the host names, including Lana Del Rey, Bad Bunny and Robyn.
- Not named by Rockstar so far: any podcast, any talk-radio or classic-rock station, and a full song list.
- The launch date on Rockstar's page is still November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
What is official: the six stations
Rockstar's music page lists these stations. The hosts are shown with in-game names. The genre text below follows Rockstar's page as we read it.
| Station | Genre (Rockstar page) | Hosts on the page |
|---|---|---|
| Cocoteo | Modern Latin | El Martillo and La Gata |
| Back Country | Country | MW and Delta Dawne |
| AfroBank FM | African classics, amapiano, 3-step | Burna and Palmsy |
| The Chamber (106.6, per press) | Metal | DJ Kerry and DJ Tom |
| Flash FM | Pop | Robyn and Alex |
| Dirty South Classics | Regional rap and hip-hop classics | Trick and Trina |
The page also says the radio spans "everything from Classic Rock to Talk Radio". It does not name a station for those. So six is not the full list. Flash FM is a returning name from Vice City, which is a fun link to the setting.
Who is behind the host names (reported)
Rockstar's page uses character names. The link to real artists comes from press reports, such as Kotaku, Forbes and DJ Mag, which in turn point to reporting by Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. We did not open those two originals, so treat the mapping as reported by reputable outlets, not as text from Rockstar.
| In-game name | Reported real person |
|---|---|
| El Martillo, La Gata | Bad Bunny, RaiNao |
| MW, Delta Dawne | Morgan Wallen, Lana Del Rey |
| Mud Dog Mike (roving reporter) | Jeremy Dufrene, reported as Lana Del Rey's husband |
| Burna, Palmsy | Burna Boy, Palms Trax |
| DJ Kerry, DJ Tom | Kerry King, Tom Araya (of Slayer) |
| Robyn, Alex | Robyn, Alex Consani |
| Trick, Trina | Trick Daddy, Trina |
Kotaku adds that these artists helped shape the music and feel of their stations. That is the outlet's reading, so we leave it as a likely but unconfirmed detail.
The Lana Del Rey question
Search interest in "lana del rey gta 6" is high, so here is a direct answer. It is not a rumor. Several outlets report that she hosts Back Country Radio as Delta Dawne, next to Morgan Wallen. Forbes also quotes her saying that her family learned the roads of Los Angeles through GTA V. What we do not know is how much she speaks, whether she has songs in the game, or whether she appears anywhere else. Rockstar has not said.
Podcasts and listening on foot
Outlets including Gematsu, DJ Mag and TheSixthAxis report that GTA VI adds on-demand podcasts for the first time in the series. Radio and podcasts work in vehicles and on foot through headphones or earbuds linked to the in-game smartphone. This is new compared with older games, where you had to be in a car.
Still unknown: the names of any podcast, the hosts, how many there are, whether more will be added later, and whether the earbuds are free or something you buy in the game.
Music beyond the radio: the album
Rockstar's page lists Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, with 34 original tracks, for November 19, with a digital pre-save and vinyl and CD pre-orders. It names eight singles: Yung Lean, Travis Scott, a group track with CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crecy, Morgan Wallen, Fuerza Regida, Rauw Alejandro, Cardi B and Keith Richards. Our album and music guide has more, but note that its lists were written before the radio reveal. The album is a separate release. It has not been said how much of it plays on the in-game radio.
Rumor and guess: how to sort claims
- "Full GTA 6 radio list" videos and posts. Treat as guesses unless they come from Rockstar's page or a reputable outlet that names the source. Rockstar says it has not shown every station.
- Song lists with dozens of tracks. Some outlets link lists built from trailers and other unofficial material. We do not copy them. They are not an official track list.
- A named R&B station or a talk-radio host. Not announced. Expecting one is a guess.
- Leaked clips. We do not describe them. Leaks can carry malware, so read our leaks and safety guide.
How to preview the stations yourself
- Open Rockstar's official GTA VI website and go to the music page.
- Pick a station from the list.
- Select the preview option for that station. Only some stations offer one, as of October 14.
- Check the date on any news post you read next to it. More stations may appear before launch, but no date for that has been given.
Parents note
GTA VI is rated M (Mature 17+) by the ESRB. Radio and talk shows in GTA games often include strong language and adult jokes. Rockstar has not published content details for the new stations or podcasts, so we cannot say what they contain. Our age rating guide and parents guide explain the tools you can use.
