Lana Del Rey and Morgan Wallen are among the artists reported as hosts on GTA VI’s in-game radio stations, and Jeremy Dufrene appears as a station-linked character. Bad Bunny is also on the announced lineup. Rockstar Games lists the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S with a scheduled release of November 19, 2026. The “join GTA 6” in the headlines refers to radio programming and a character appearance, not to a confirmed place in the game’s main story cast.
Who is hosting the GTA 6 radio stations
Rockstar announced its radio stations and their hosts on October 8, 2026. Pitchfork reported the station lineup, and Just Jared added the character names and a wider host list. The stations below are the lineup as those two outlets reported it; Rockstar’s own announcement is the primary reference for final names.
| Station | Reported hosts or appearances |
|---|---|
| Back Country Radio (a country station) | Lana Del Rey as Delta Dawne; Morgan Wallen as MW; Jeremy Dufrene as Mud Dog Mike |
| Cocoteo FM | Bad Bunny and RaiNao |
| AfroBank FM | Burna Boy and Palms Trax |
| Flash FM | Robyn and Alex Consani |
| Dirty South Classics | Trick Daddy and Trina |
| The Chamber 106.6 | Kerry King and Tom Araya |
Only Back Country Radio is described with a genre in the reporting. Coverage does not state the genre formats of the other stations, so none are labeled here.
Back Country Radio: the three names readers ask about
Lana Del Rey as Delta Dawne
Just Jared identifies Lana Del Rey’s character on Back Country Radio as Delta Dawne. The reporting describes her role as a station host, not as a member of the game’s central cast.
#1 Best Overall
Morgan Wallen as MW
Just Jared lists Morgan Wallen as MW on the same station. As with Del Rey, the coverage places him as a host of the country station.
Jeremy Dufrene as Mud Dog Mike
Dufrene appears as Mud Dog Mike, a character who checks in with the station. Just Jared describes the character as a roving reporter and Delta Dawne’s lover. That is a characterization from the reporting, and Rockstar’s announcement is the source to check for the final in-game wording.

What the announcement does and does not establish
The coverage describes Dufrene only through his in-game role. It does not describe him as Lana Del Rey’s husband, and it does not place him or the other named artists in the main story. Treat the title’s “join GTA 6” as shorthand for radio hosting and station appearances. Readers looking for the game’s story cast will need further official material from Rockstar.
