GTA 6 Radio Station Leak?
Music has always been the heartbeat of Grand Theft Auto. From the synthwave of Vice City to the West Coast hip-hop of San Andreas, the radio stations are as iconic as the characters themselves. Now, with GTA 6 set to return to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City, two artists may have accidentally confirmed their place in the game’s soundtrack.
The first confirmation comes from Panama, an artist whose now-deleted Instagram comment claimed their song “Back to Life” with band Poolside will be featured in the game. “I’ve got a song called ‘Back to Life‘ I wrote with @poolside it’ll be on GTA 6,” the artist stated before the comment was removed. The track, originally released in 2023, carries an unmistakable Vice City vibe—dreamy, sun-soaked, and perfect for a coastal cruise.
The second potential contributor is Neon Indian, whose past collaboration with Rockstar includes “Polish Girl” in Grand Theft Auto V and “Change of Coast” as introductory music for GTA Online. In a recent episode of the This Podcast Should Be Played Loud podcast, the artist teased, “It ain’t the end of me and Rockstar Games. That’s all I’m going to say. I can’t discuss more.” While not explicitly naming GTA VI, the timing and context strongly point toward the sequel.
Music Takes Center Stage
These leaks align with a growing pattern: GTA VI may place unprecedented emphasis on music and the entertainment industry. Recent GTA Online updates have featured celebrity involvement, including a heist centered around Dr. Dre. The game’s trailers have already hinted at a world saturated with nightlife, clubs, and performance culture—a natural fit for Vice City’s excess.
The setting itself demands a killer soundtrack. Vice City, inspired by 1980s Miami, became legendary for its licensed music, introducing a generation to artists they might never have discovered otherwise. A modern Vice City, presumably blending contemporary hits with period-appropriate tracks, has massive potential to replicate that cultural moment.
The Drake Rumors Persist
Last year, speculation swirled that Drake might host his own radio station in GTA VI, following in the footsteps of Cara Delevingne, who hosted Non Stop Pop FM as herself in GTA V. While no evidence supports this rumor yet, the idea of celebrity-hosted stations isn’t far-fetched given Rockstar’s history.

What This Means for Fans
For now, these remain unconfirmed leaks—exciting but unofficial. Panama’s deleted comment carries weight, but deleted posts are not guarantees. Neon Indian’s tease is deliberately vague, though their history with Rockstar makes their involvement plausible.
What is certain is that Grand Theft Auto VI is locked in for November 19, 2026, with marketing set to kick off this summer. After multiple delays and over 12 years since GTA V, the finish line is finally in sight. The trailers so far promise a world drenched in atmosphere, and the right music will be essential to making Vice City feel alive.
