Music fans have one more reason to look forward to GTA 6. Rockstar previewed the game’s radio stations today, including the returning Flash FM from the original GTA Vice City and metal-drenched The Chamber 106.6, among others.
The game’s website lists six of the radio stations that will dominate the airwaves in Leonida, its fictional version of Florida, as spotted by Polygon, though there’s bound to be way more upon release.
If you’ve played Vice City, you may recognize Flash FM, responsible for bringing you the hottest hits in 1980s pop music, such as Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean. Decades later, the Leonida institution maintains its pop-infused identity with DJs Robyn and Alex (and the indie fan in me is particularly happy to see MGMT’s Electric Feel on the setlist).

Metalheads have The Chamber 106.6 to look forward to. DJ Tom and DJ Kerry—who seem to be Slayer’s Tom Araya and Kerry King—bring some of the genre’s classic bangers. Fittingly enough, Slayer’s Raining Blood is also featured on the setlist after appearing on Vice City‘s V-Rock station.
The other stations in GTA 6‘s repertoire include Latin/reggaeton-centric Cocoteo FM, rap and hip-hop powerhouse Dirty South Classics, country-infused Back Country Radio, and the energetic Afro Bank FM. Here are the stations and songs featured on GTA 6‘s official website:
