Turning Point USA’s alternate Super Bowl halftime show lineup
Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show” lineup will feature performances by Kid Rock, Brantly Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett.
As the NFL gears up for Bad Bunny’s much‑debated Super Bowl halftime show, a conservative group is rolling out its own rival performance — complete with Kid Rock and a lineup aimed squarely at viewers looking for an alternative.
Turning Point USA announced it will stage a competing “All-American Halftime Show” during Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 8, 2026, positioning the event as a patriotic counterprogram to the league’s choice of Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican megastar whose selection sparked political chatter across social media and conservative circles.
Kid Rock, headlining the TPUSA show alongside Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett, framed the effort as a cultural showdown. “We’re approaching this show like David and Goliath,” he said in the group’s announcement. “Competing with the pro football machine and a global pop superstar is almost impossible… or is it?”
Rock also took a swipe at the NFL pick, referencing Bad Bunny’s comments about bringing a “dance party” and performing in Spanish: “Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America.”
Bad Bunny, born in Puerto Rico — a U.S. territory — is an American citizen.
Here’s what Californians should know about TPUSA’s alternative halftime show, including where to watch and how to stream it.
What is the alternative halftime show?
Turning Point, founded by late right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, announced in October that it would put on an alternative Super Bowl halftime performance after the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny as a headlining artist sparked controversy.
The TPUSA website describes the event as “a unique, patriotic event proudly celebrating American culture, freedom, and faith.” Adding, “The All-American Halftime Show is an opportunity for all Americans to enjoy a halftime show with no agenda other than to celebrate faith, family, and freedom,” and “We set out to provide an entertainment option that will be fun, excellent, and exciting for the entire family while millions are gathered together for the big game.”
A Grammy winner from Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny is a U.S. citizen.
