Canadian fans will get an opportunity to hear the music of Grand Theft Auto VI ahead of the game's release, with advance listening parties scheduled at record stores in Toronto and the Montréal area on November 18.
The events are part of a global listening-party initiative for GTA VI: The Album, the 34-song soundtrack arriving November 19, alongside the highly anticipated Rockstar Games title.
The listening parties will give fans an early opportunity to hear the album in full, enter exclusive giveaways and pre-order a special marble pink and blue vinyl edition. Additional merchandise and promotional items will vary by location, with giveaways available while supplies last. The Toronto event will be held at Sonic Boom on Spadina Avenue, while Montréal-area fans will have to head across the river to Le Noise in Longueuil.
Worldwide, more than 230 independent record stores are reportedly taking part. Other international locations include London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid, Sydney and Auckland.
The soundtrack features 34 original tracks created for the game, with contributions from artists including Travis Scott, Cardi B and Tove Lo. Several songs have already been released ahead of the album, although the complete tracklist has yet to be unveiled. A GTA VI Festival is also taking place in Miami, featuring Cardi B and Future, among others.
Grand Theft Auto VI and its accompanying album are both scheduled to arrive November 19, after over a decade of anticipation from fans worldwide.
