Grand Theft Auto 6 Album Early Listening Events Announced at Record Stores

Fans eager for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 will have a chance to hear its accompanying soundtrack a day early. Rockstar Games has organized special advance listening events at more than 230 independent record stores across North America and the UK, scheduled for November 18. Attendees at shops such as California's Resident Vinyl, Liverpool’s Jacaranda Records, and Assai Records in Scotland will be able to preview the 34-track, Vice City-inspired album in full before it officially hits streaming services on November 19.

So far, only ten tracks from the massive record have been made public, including contributions from major artists like Cardi B ('Don’t Chart'), Travis Scott ('RHYNO'), and Tove Lo ('Blood In Your Eyes'). The upcoming listening parties will give dedicated fans a first complete listen alongside exclusive perks, including free Leonida postcards, merchandise giveaways, and the opportunity to pre-order a limited-edition indie exclusive vinyl version of the album.

In addition to the record store events, Rockstar Games is marking the launch of the highly anticipated video game with a real-world festival in Miami on November 21. The live music event will feature performances by Cardi B, Travis Scott, Justice, Metro Boomin, Don Toliver, and many others, capping off a massive week for the franchise.

What to watch next: Record store listening parties take place on November 18, 2025. Grand Theft Auto 6 and its soundtrack drop on November 19, 2025, followed by the Miami launch festival on November 21, 2025.
