GTA 6 Radio Stations Revealed: Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Burna Boy and Slayer to Host In-Game Stations

Picture this: you’re cruising down a neon-soaked boulevard in Leonida, palm trees swaying, the sun melting into the ocean — and on the radio, Bad Bunny himself is hyping up the next track. No, you’re not dreaming. Rockstar Games has officially revealed the in-game radio stations of Grand Theft Auto VI, and honestly? The lineup is so stacked it feels like Coachella got a driver’s license.

We’re talking Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Burna Boy, Morgan Wallen, Robyn, Trick Daddy, Trina — and in the most gloriously unexpected booking of the year, Slayer’s Kerry King and Tom Araya — all confirmed as station hosts. Rockstar is calling it “the biggest and widest-ranging selection of in-game radio and podcasts yet,” and after seeing the full list, it’s hard to argue.

Even better: you don’t have to wait until launch to hear it. Every station has a preview button on Rockstar’s official GTA 6 music page, already playing a few minutes of talk and music. So let’s break down all six stations, the hosts, and the songs you’ll be hearing on repeat.

Cocoteo FM — Bad Bunny Turns Up the Latin Heat

First up is Cocoteo FM, described as “Leonida’s home for the best of modern Latin music.” Hosting duties go to Bad Bunny as “El Martillo” and Puerto Rican singer-songwriter RaiNao as “La Gata,” spinning bachata, merengue, dembow, and reggaeton. Rockstar’s own tagline says it best: “el party que nunca se apaga” — the party that never turns off.

Previewed tracks include Bad Bunny’s own “EoO,” “Si Es Trucho Es Trucho (Remix)” by Axel Rulay featuring Farruko and El Alfa, and “Canalla” by Romeo Santos and El Chaval de la Bachata. If you’ve ever wanted your getaway drive soundtracked by perreo, this is your station.

Back Country Radio — Lana Del Rey Goes Full Outlaw Country

On the other end of the dial sits Back Country Radio, broadcasting “renegade country” across the Grassrivers and Port Gellhorn. The hosts? Morgan Wallen as MW and Lana Del Rey as Delta Dawne. Yes, really — Lana Del Rey hosting a country station in GTA might be the most perfect casting decision in gaming history.

And there’s a lovely personal touch: Del Rey’s real-life husband, Jeremy Dufrene, voices Mud Dog Mike — the station’s roving reporter, swamp meteorologist, and airboat captain. Which is wonderfully fitting, because Dufrene is an actual airboat captain in real life.

Del Rey, a longtime fan of the franchise, said contributing was “super special and a privilege,” sharing that “the first time some of our family got to LA they actually knew the roads because of playing the game.” Previewed songs dig into the classics: David Allan Coe’s “Need a Little Time Off for Bad Behavior,” Loretta Lynn’s “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind),” and the Hank Williams Jr. and Waylon Jennings duet “The Conversation.”

AfroBank FM — Burna Boy Brings the Gbedu

Nigerian superstar Burna Boy (going by “Burna”) joins forces with DJ Palms Trax (“Palmsy”) on AfroBank FM, your destination for African classics, amapiano, and 3-step. The station’s motto: “Turn up the gbedu.”

Previewed tracks include Asake’s “Joha,” “Gye Wani” by Pat Thomas featuring Ebo Taylor, and “Shay’sana” by DJ Lag and Robot Boii featuring Kamo Mphela. It’s a genuinely global sound — exactly what a game set in a fictional Florida should feel like.

The Chamber 106.6 — Slayer Unleash Pure Metal Mayhem

Now for the booking nobody saw coming but everybody loves: Slayer founders Kerry King (DJ Kerry) and Tom Araya (DJ Tom) are hosting The Chamber 106.6, a station devoted to classic metal “from the ’80s and beyond.”

The previewed tracks are gloriously heavy: Black Sabbath’s “I,” Pantera’s “I’m Broken,” and Slayer’s own “Raining Blood.” Araya described it as “a new metal station for players and fans who like it fast and heavy,” adding that “Slayer and GTA’s aggressive and unapologetic style of chaos makes for a whole lot of fun.” Honestly, has a more perfect sentence ever been written?

Flash FM and Dirty South Classics — Pop and Hip-Hop Royalty

Pop institution Flash FM makes its triumphant return with Swedish icon Robyn and model-actress Alex Consani behind the mic. Expect Charli xcx’s “Good Ones,” MGMT’s “Electric Feel,” and “Midnight Sun (Girls Trip)” by Zara Larsson and PinkPantheress.

And holding it down for hip-hop is Dirty South Classics, hosted by Miami legends Trick Daddy (as “Trick”) and Trina. The previews are pure Southern rap canon: David Banner’s “Like A Pimp” featuring Lil’ Flip, JT Money’s “Who Dat” featuring Solé, and DJ Khaled’s “Born N Raised” featuring Trick Daddy, Rick Ross, and Pitbull.

Why GTA’s Radio Stations Are Such a Big Deal

If you’re wondering why a radio announcement is breaking the gaming internet, here’s some context: GTA’s radio has always been more than background music. Since Vice City’s iconic ’80s stations and San Andreas’ genre-spanning dial, Rockstar’s in-game radio has been a cultural touchstone — part DJ banter, part satire, part talk-show chaos. The stations don’t just play songs; they build the world, roast its politics, and give every drive a personality.

That’s why twelve named celebrity hosts across six stations is such a statement. Rockstar isn’t just licensing tracks — it’s casting the airwaves like a movie, with each host bringing their own flavor to Leonida. And with on-demand podcasts arriving in GTA for the first time ever — listenable both in cars and on foot via Jason and Lucia’s in-game smartphones — the audio experience is becoming a game within the game.

Fans Are Already Losing Their Minds

The reaction has been exactly what you’d expect: pure, unfiltered hype. Within hours of Rockstar’s music page going live, gaming outlets from Vice to Rolling Stone to Pitchfork had picked up the story, and fan communities were already debating their default stations. The Lana Del Rey country station reveal alone sent her fanbase into overdrive, while metal fans are still processing the sheer perfection of Slayer hosting a GTA station.

The smartest move? Those preview buttons. By letting fans actually hear the stations now, Rockstar turned an announcement into an experience — and gave everyone a reason to argue about which station reigns supreme months before launch.

Don’t Sleep on GTA VI: The Album

The radio stations are only half the music story. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album — a 34-track collection of original music — launches alongside the game, featuring contributions from artists including Travis Scott, Rauw Alejandro, and Keith Richards. Between the album and the six stations, GTA 6 is shaping up to have the most ambitious soundtrack in the series’ history.
