GTA 6 Reveals Six Radio Stations With Flash FM, Metal, Hip-Hop and More

Rockstar Games has officially revealed the first six radio stations coming to Grand Theft Auto VI, giving fans a preview of the music and personalities they will encounter across Leonida.

The announcement also confirms a major change to the series' audio experience: GTA 6 will introduce on-demand podcasts for the first time, while players will be able to continue listening to radio and podcasts after leaving their vehicles.

Six GTA 6 Radio Stations Revealed

Rockstar has confirmed the following six stations so far:

1. Cocoteo FM

Cocoteo FM focuses on modern Latin music, including bachata, merengue, dembow and reggaeton.

The station is presented by El Martillo and La Gata and is designed to provide a lively soundtrack while players explore Leonida.

2. Back Country Radio

Back Country Radio brings a renegade country sound to the Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn and surrounding areas.

The station features hosts MW and Delta Dawne, along with additional in-world segments involving a roving reporter and other colorful characters.

3. AfroBank FM

AfroBank FM focuses on African music, combining classic recordings with contemporary sounds.

The station, hosted by Burna and Palmsy, includes genres and styles such as amapiano and 3-step alongside African classics and lesser-known tracks.

4. The Chamber 106.6

Rock fans have something to look forward to with The Chamber 106.6.

The station specializes in classic metal from the 1980s and beyond, with DJ Kerry and DJ Tom presenting the music.

Early previews include major metal names such as Black Sabbath, Pantera and Slayer.

5. Flash FM Returns

One of the biggest surprises is the return of Flash FM, a familiar station name from the Vice City era.

In GTA 6, Flash FM returns with a pop-focused lineup hosted by Robyn and Alex. Rockstar describes it as a Vice City institution delivering pop and dance music.

Early music previews include artists such as Charli XCX, MGMT and Zara Larsson & PinkPantheress.

6. Dirty South Classics

The final station in the initial reveal is Dirty South Classics, which focuses on Southern rap and hip-hop.

Trick and Trina host the station, bringing regional rap and hip-hop classics to players across Leonida.

GTA 6 Radio Will Follow You Outside the Car

One of the biggest changes to the traditional GTA radio system is that players won't necessarily have to remain inside a vehicle to keep listening.

Rockstar says radio and podcasts can be heard both in vehicles and on foot through newly introduced headphones and earbuds connected to the protagonists' smartphones.

That means Jason and Lucia can continue listening while exploring the world on foot.

This could make the audio system feel much more integrated into everyday exploration than in previous GTA games.

Podcasts Are Coming to GTA for the First Time

GTA 6 is also introducing on-demand podcasts, marking a new addition to the franchise's entertainment system.

Unlike traditional radio broadcasts, podcasts can be selected on demand. Rockstar says they will be available alongside the game's radio stations, giving players another way to experience the world and its characters.

The addition should also give Rockstar another way to expand the game's satire, storytelling and world-building beyond missions and random encounters.

More Radio Stations Are Expected

The six stations revealed today are not the complete GTA 6 radio lineup.

Rockstar describes them as a selection from the game's Leonida airwaves, and additional stations are expected to be revealed as the November launch approaches.

The early selection already covers a wide range of genres, including Latin music, country, African music, metal, pop and Southern rap.

GTA 6 Music Includes Major Artists

The radio reveal also gives players an early look at the real-world artists contributing to GTA 6's soundtrack.

Reported contributors connected to the newly revealed stations include Bad Bunny, Burna Boy, Black Sabbath, Slayer, Charli XCX, Morgan Wallen, Lana Del Rey, Robyn and others.

Rockstar has also announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, which contains 34 original tracks and is scheduled alongside the game's November release.

GTA 6 Release Date

Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

With the release approaching, Rockstar is gradually revealing more information about the game's world, characters, music and gameplay systems.

Final Thoughts

The first GTA 6 radio reveal shows that Rockstar is taking one of the franchise's most recognizable features even further.

With six confirmed stations, returning Flash FM, major music artists, on-demand podcasts and on-foot listening, GTA 6's audio experience could become one of the game's most immersive features.

And because Rockstar has only revealed an initial selection of stations, fans can expect more music and radio surprises before the game's launch.
