Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival is set for November 21, 2026 in Miami, with Rockstar Games positioning it as a live, in-person celebration of the GTA VI launch. The official event page names the venue as Mana Wynwood and outlines how tickets work (a code-based lottery tied to Laylo and redeemed via DICE), plus detailed rules covering age/ID checks, security screening, bags, prohibited items, and accessibility services.
All details below are based on the official Rockstar event page: Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival.
What it is (and who’s behind it)
Rockstar describes “Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival” as a “one-of-a-kind launch event” featuring two stages with non-stop music. The page also states the festival is presented in partnership with PlayStation and produced by the creators of III Points.
When and where
The event takes place on November 21, 2026 at Mana Wynwood in Miami.
- Venue address: 318 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127
- Ticket-holder entry: access is via 5th Avenue
Tickets: lottery codes (Laylo) and checkout via DICE
Rockstar’s page explains that tickets are handled through DICE, but access to purchase is controlled via exclusive codes distributed through a Laylo lottery system. In practice, that means you don’t simply open DICE and buy: you first need to be selected and receive a code, then use that code in the DICE flow described by the organizer.
The page also states two key constraints:
- Maximum 2 tickets per purchaser
- Tickets are non-transferable
Ticket timeline (ET) as listed on the page
- Lottery Closes: Tuesday, November 10 at 4:00 p.m. ET
- Winning Entries Drawn: Tuesday, November 10 at 7:00 p.m. ET
- Tickets On Sale For Lottery Winners: Wednesday, November 11 at 12 p.m. ET
Account setup: the anti-bot warning
One operational detail on the Rockstar page is framed as a safeguard: to reduce the risk of being flagged as a bot and removed from the lottery process, the page recommends creating your DICE account as soon as possible using the same email address and phone number used for the lottery entry.

Getting there: entry point, rideshare, and parking
Logistics are straightforward but strict. The official instructions specify that ticket-holders enter via 5th Avenue. The page also notes there is no on-site parking and that rideshare is strongly encouraged.
Security screening: “TSA-style” checks
Rockstar’s page sets expectations about the entrance process: entry is conditional on a thorough “TSA-style” search. That description includes requirements such as emptying pockets and bags for inspection, potential pat-downs, and the possibility that attendees may be asked to remove shoes. The page also indicates the event reserves the right to refuse entry.
Bag policy and what you can (and can’t) bring
The event page’s bag rules are unusually specific. A key limit called out is that backpacks and non-clear bags larger than 6” x 9” are not permitted. The page then lists approved bag types (including clear bags up to 12” x 6” x 12”) and other entry-permitted items, alongside a long prohibited-items list.
Acceptable Items

Festival rules: no re-entry, no refunds, and crowd safety
Beyond the item list, the page outlines core festival policies. Among the rules stated are no re-entry, no camping, and no refunds or exchanges. It also explicitly bans high-risk crowd behavior, including moshing, crowd-surfing, and stage-diving.
Accessibility (ADA): wristbands and viewing areas
Rockstar’s event page includes an ADA guide with operational specifics rather than vague assurances. It states there is an Accessibility Services Hub near the entrance where eligible guests can receive a free accessibility wristband. The policy described also allows one companion wristband per guest with a disability, and it notes that there are accessible viewing areas with their own rules.
If you plan to attend using accessibility services, the key takeaway from the official guidance is to visit the hub upon arrival to get properly wristbanded before heading into the stages and viewing areas.
