What is BAYO
BAYO is Michaël Brun’s platform celebrating Haitian and diaspora culture through music, food and art. Past editions featured names like J Balvin, Saint Levant, Maxwell and Wyclef Jean, according to press reports. Who performs on 11/22 has not been confirmed.
What does it have to do with GTA 6?
The only confirmed link is sponsorship: Rockstar Games provides the free tickets. The coverage does not mention GTA 6 or any in-game content at the event. Little Haiti is one of the real Miami neighborhoods that echo the Vice City and Leonida vibe, but that is our reading, not a Rockstar statement.
How to take part
Enter the lottery on the official BAYO site (bayotour.com) and check deadlines and rules there. Be wary of third-party ticket sellers, since entry is free.

The BAYO story so far
According to the press material published by FrontView Magazine, the US edition began as a free block party in Little Haiti ten years ago. Since then BAYO has visited 12 cities, sold more than 50,000 tickets and hosted more than 140 guest artists. Last year’s edition was at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and in 2026 there were shows in Boston (Agganis Arena), a three-night residency at the Brooklyn Paramount and a Barclays Center show on June 28. The text itself gives two different start dates (ten and nine years ago) without explaining the difference.
What Brun says about the return
Michaël Brun says he is proud to bring BAYO back to the neighborhood where it started, for the biggest show in the event’s history, with a new venue, big surprises and what he calls the most iconic lineup yet. He stresses that entry is free thanks to Rockstar Games. The press also mentions an upcoming partnership between the two tied to Brun’s cultural mission, with no details on scope.
What is still unknown
The coverage we checked does not give the start time, the name and address of the new venue, or the lottery criteria and deadline. These should appear on the official site; we will update this article when they do. For Vice City fans, the event is one more Rockstar launch-window activation, alongside the Selfridges pop-up in London and the Miami HEAT game.
