Rockstar continues to cultivate the mystery around GTA 6. Since the release of the first trailer, official information has been rare, despite a release still planned for November 2026. However, while the studio remains silent, two artists seem to have revealed, almost in spite of themselves, their involvement in the soundtrack of the next Grand Theft Auto.
The information does not come from an official press release, nor from a calculated teaser, but from statements spotted by attentive Internet users. Panama and Neon Indian, already present in GTA 5, have hinted that they could appear on the radio of GTA 6. A discreet revelation, but credible enough to restart discussions around the game’s soundtrack.
Panama briefly confirms the presence of a song in GTA 6
The first clue comes from the Panama group. According to several screenshots shared online, the group responded on Instagram that their song “Back to Life”, in collaboration with Poolside, would be included in GTA 6. The post was later deleted. Even though the original message is no longer visible, the Internet has preserved traces of this response. This type of rapid deletion naturally fuels speculation. The cited song, with its atmospheric electro-disco ambiance, would perfectly match the supposed aesthetic of Vice City, the main setting of the game. Panama is no stranger to Rockstar. In GTA 5, his song “Always” was already featured on Radio Mirror Park, the game’s iconic station.
Neon Indian drops a clue in podcast
The second element concerns Neon Indian, Alan Palomo’s musical project. During an episode of the This Podcast Should Be Played Loud podcast, Palomo discussed his past collaboration with Rockstar. Speaking about GTA 5, he said it was “not the end between me and Rockstar Games”, before abruptly stopping and adding that he couldn’t say more. This statement, which went relatively unnoticed during its initial release, has resurfaced now that speculation around GTA 6 is intensifying. Here again, the link with Rockstar is solid. Neon Indian previously contributed to GTA 5 with “Polish Girl” on Radio Mirror Park. He also composed an exclusive track for the introduction of GTA Online called “Change of Coast”.
A strategy of silence maintained by Rockstar
Since confirming that GTA 6 is still scheduled for November 2026, Rockstar has not shared any new trailers or major details. Rumors suggesting a digital-only launch have also been denied. This lack of communication contrasts with the magnitude of expectations surrounding the game. Fans are analyzing every frame of the trailer, every potential leak and every indirect statement. In this context, the slightest allusion from an artist linked to the project takes on particular importance. Radio has always been central to Grand Theft Auto’s identity. Each opus marks its era with a carefully calibrated musical selection.
Vice City and the importance of the soundtrack
If GTA 6 does indeed return to Vice City, as the first official images indicate, music will play an essential role in building its atmosphere. Previous episodes have demonstrated Rockstar’s attention to musical coherence. Radio Mirror Park, which already featured Panama and Neon Indian, offered an indie and electro selection corresponding to a certain alternative urban atmosphere. The return of these artists would suggest a stylistic continuity, or even a natural evolution of the sound universe introduced in GTA 5. For the moment, no official confirmation has been published by Rockstar Games. But these statements, even brief, constitute one of the few concrete elements linked to GTA 6 for several months.
