Also joining the in-game lineup: RaiNao, Burna Boy, Robyn, Kerry King, Tom Araya, Morgan Wallen, and Lana Del Rey’s husband, Jeremy Dufrene.
Rockstar Games is pulling back another curtain on Grand Theft Auto VI, and this time the focus is on one of the series’ most recognizable traditions: the radio.
Ahead of the game’s November 19 release, Rockstar has revealed several of the personalities behind GTA VI’s in-game stations. The lineup stretches across Latin music, African sounds, metal, pop, Southern hip-hop and country, bringing some surprisingly big names into the fictional world of Vice City.
The most unexpected pairing may be Lana Del Rey and her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, who will appear alongside Morgan Wallen on Back Country Radio, a station built around what Rockstar describes as “renegade country.”
But they are far from the only major names attached to the game’s radio experience.
The GTA VI Radio Lineup
The newly revealed stations cover a deliberately wide range of musical identities.
Cocoteo FM will focus on modern Latin music, with Puerto Rican artists Bad Bunny and RaiNao behind the station.
AfroBank FM moves in a completely different direction, bringing African music to the game with Burna Boy and Palms Trax.
For players looking for something heavier, Chamber 106.6 will deliver classic metal through Slayer’s Kerry King and Tom Araya.
Then there is Flash FM, which promises a pop-focused selection led by Swedish singer Robyn and model Alex Consani.
Southern hip-hop gets its own space through Dirty South Classics, hosted by Trick Daddy and Trina.
And finally, Back Country Radio brings together Morgan Wallen, Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene for its take on renegade country.
Rockstar has also published previews for the individual stations, giving players an early sense of how each part of the radio ecosystem will sound.
RaiNao Says Cocoteo FM Feels Personal
For RaiNao, appearing on GTA VI is more than simply attaching her name to a massive game.
She described Cocoteo FM as a station that reflects the slang, personality, traditions and musical culture surrounding her. That makes the station feel less like a generic playlist and more like an extension of the world the game is trying to build.
RaiNao also has a personal connection to the franchise. She has played Grand Theft Auto herself and remembers the particular thrill of driving through the game world while listening to music.
That makes her involvement especially fitting: she is now helping create the radio experience that another generation of players will hear while doing exactly that.
The Radio Is Only Part of GTA VI’s Music
Rockstar’s latest announcement should not be confused with the game’s previously revealed soundtrack.
In September, the company announced a 34-song GTA VI soundtrack featuring original tracks from artists including Travis Scott, Yung Lean and PinkPantheress.
The distinction matters because the radio stations and soundtrack serve different purposes within the game’s musical identity.
The soundtrack provides a curated collection of original music associated with the game, while the radio stations are designed to make the fictional world feel alive as players move through it.
That tradition has been central to Grand Theft Auto for years. Radio isn’t simply background audio. It can establish the mood of a drive, introduce players to unfamiliar music, provide comedy between missions and make the game world feel like it exists beyond whatever the player happens to be doing.
With GTA VI, Rockstar appears to be doubling down on that formula with an unusually recognizable roster of hosts.
Why the Radio Lineup Matters
GTA VI Is Getting Closer
With the November 19 release date approaching, Rockstar is steadily revealing more pieces of GTA VI without giving away everything at once.
The radio announcement is another example of that strategy. Instead of focusing entirely on missions, characters or gameplay mechanics, Rockstar is showing how much attention has gone into the world surrounding the player.
And for a franchise where simply stealing a car and driving around can become an experience of its own, the music matters.
When GTA VI finally arrives, these stations could end up being just as memorable as the missions players came to complete.
For now, Rockstar’s latest reveal gives players another reason to turn the radio up.
