GTA VI's theme song features Tame Impala and SZA, and both are now Coachella 2027 headliners
Justice's "Flower in a Hurricane", the song from the Grand Theft Auto VI launch trailer, features Tame Impala and SZA. Coachella announced on 11 November 2026 that both will headline its 2027 festival, and the game and its 34-song album come out on 19 November.

The song in the Grand Theft Auto VI launch trailer has two of next year's Coachella headliners on it. "Flower in a Hurricane" is a single by the French duo Justice, with Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard credited as featured artists. It came out on 15 October 2026 with the trailer, and Wikipedia and Songfacts both call it the game's official theme song. On 11 November, Coachella announced its 2027 lineup, and Tame Impala and SZA are two of its three headliners.
Who is on the song
Rockstar's music page lists the track as a single from the Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score by Justice, who were named as the game's score composers the same day. Wikipedia's credits list Kevin Parker of Tame Impala as producer, writer, guitarist and vocalist, and SZA as writer and vocalist. Justice and Parker produced it together. Eleven people share the writing credit, including all six members of King Gizzard. It is not the first time Justice and Parker worked together: Tame Impala also appears on "One Night/All Night" and "Neverender" from Justice's 2024 album Hyperdrama.
The song did well for a game trailer. It reached No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100, which was King Gizzard's first Hot 100 entry, and No. 31 in the UK, which Wikipedia calls Justice's first UK top 40 hit in 20 years.
The Coachella poster
Coachella revealed the 2027 poster on Wednesday 11 November. Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA headline, and the festival runs over two weekends, 9 to 11 April and 16 to 18 April 2027. At the bottom of the poster, a line says Justice will bring an exhibit called "Blinded by the Lights" to the festival's Bunker, according to Stereogum.
A 34-song album, and the game
Rockstar and Atlantic are releasing Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, 34 original songs, on 19 November, the same day as the game. Justice's score is a separate album, due on 11 December.
SZA's SOS and Tame Impala's Currents both sit at 4.2 out of 5 on Riffiter. If you want to settle which one is better, rate them.
