GTA 6 Radio Stations Revealed: Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey and Slayer Host – Plus On-Foot Music and Podcasts

Rockstar has revealed six GTA 6 radio stations and their celebrity hosts, and confirmed you can finally listen to music on foot through Jason and Lucia's phones.

Radio has always been half the personality of a Grand Theft Auto game, and Rockstar finally pulled back the curtain on what Leonida will sound like. On October 8, the studio added a music section to the official GTA 6 website with roughly two-minute previews of six in-game radio stations, complete with DJ chatter and song clips. It also revealed a list of famous hosts and confirmed a feature fans have been asking about for years: you can listen to the radio on foot.

GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, so this is part of Rockstar's final push before release. Here's everything that's been confirmed.

The six GTA 6 radio stations and their hosts

These six aren't the full lineup – the previews are only a slice of what's in the game, and Rockstar calls it the biggest and widest-ranging radio selection in the series so far.

A few details stand out. Flash FM returns as a Vice City institution, a nod to the pop station from 2002's Vice City. The Chamber is hosted by two founding members of Slayer, and Back Country has a bonus character: Lana Del Rey's husband, Jeremy Dufrene, appears as Mud Dog Mike, a roving reporter and swamp weatherman calling in from his airboat in the Grassrivers.

Picking Trick Daddy and Trina, two of Miami's best-known rappers, for the Southern hip-hop station fits a game set in Rockstar's version of Florida.

What songs are in the previews?

Rockstar hasn't published full playlists yet, so what we know comes from the two-minute previews. Tracks spotted across several outlets include:

• Cocoteo: Bad Bunny's "EoO"
• Back Country: Loretta Lynn's "Don't Come Home a Drinkin'" and David Allan Coe
• The Chamber: Slayer's "Raining Blood," plus Black Sabbath and Pantera
• Flash FM: MGMT's "Electric Feel," Charli xcx, and Zara Larsson with PinkPantheress
• Dirty South Classics: JT Money, DJ Khaled and David Banner

That mix is classic GTA: licensed hits and deep cuts across decades, rather than just what's charting right now. Expect much longer playlists in the final game.

Radio on foot and the series' first podcasts

The biggest gameplay change isn't a station. For the first time in the series, radio isn't stuck in cars. Jason and Lucia can listen to stations on foot through headphones and earbuds connected to their smartphones. In earlier games, radio was limited to vehicles and a handful of select places.

Rockstar also confirmed on-demand podcasts, another first for the series. They're separate from the regular broadcast stations and can be played in a vehicle or on foot. Rockstar hasn't named any podcasts or hosts yet. Talk radio has been a GTA trademark since the early games, so a playable-anytime version of that idea could be one of the sneakily best quality-of-life upgrades in the game.

Don't forget GTA 6: The Album

The music page also highlights Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, which Rockstar announced in September with Atlantic Records. It has 34 original tracks and releases on November 19, the same day as the game. Six singles are already out:

1. "That's It" – Yung Lean feat. Future and Metro Boomin
2. "RHYNO" – Travis Scott
3. "Sexy Magic" – CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy
4. "Last Thing You Need" – Morgan Wallen
5. "Macacoa 2000" – Rauw Alejandro
6. "Bright Lights, Big City" – Keith Richards

Rockstar says it will share more about the game's music soon.

Why it matters

GTA radio stations are the stuff of memes, playlists and nostalgia. People still hum Flash FM and Non-Stop-Pop years later, and the DJ banter is often the funniest writing in the game. With Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Morgan Wallen, Burna Boy and Slayer all on board, Rockstar is clearly treating the soundtrack as a headline feature, not just background noise.

On-foot listening matters just as much. GTA 6's Leonida looks built for wandering: beaches, swamps, nightlife and crowded streets. Being able to take your favorite station with you changes how the world feels between missions.

What's next

• Officially confirmed: the six stations and hosts above, on-foot listening through the characters' phones, on-demand podcasts, the 34-track album on November 19, and the game's November 19 launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
• Not confirmed yet: the total number of stations, full playlists, podcast names and hosts. Several leaked station lists are circulating online, but none of them is official.

Pre-loading opens on November 12 for anyone who has pre-ordered. You can listen to all six previews on Rockstar's GTA 6 music page right now.
