In a direct response to the NFL‘s selection of Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl LX halftime show, conservative organization Turning Point USA has unveiled the lineup for its own alternative broadcast. Kid Rock will anchor the “All-American Halftime Show” this coming Sunday, February 8, leading a bill that features three other prominent country music figures.
The announcement, made on Monday (February 2), ended months of speculation regarding the event’s roster. Joining the rap-rocker on the bill are hitmakers Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, and former “American Idol” finalist Gabby Barrett. Both Brice and Barrett confirmed their participation by sharing the news across their social media platforms.
Specific details regarding the production remain scarce. With four distinct acts slated for a timeframe typically lasting around 20 minutes, it is currently unclear how the show will be structured or if the artists will even perform from the same location. Unlike the NFL‘s massive stadium spectacle, there has been no indication that a live audience will be present for the TPUSA event.
The synergy between Kid Rock and Gilbert is already established, as both are slated to appear on the “Rock the Country” festival circuit this summer. Politically, Kid Rock remains the most vocal activist of the group. Gilbert has previously expressed strong views on gun rights, while Brice and Barrett have generally maintained a lower profile regarding partisan issues.
Turning Point USA has secured a wide array of digital and traditional platforms to broadcast the event, ensuring accessibility outside of the mainstream network ecosystem.
Viewers can stream the performance via YouTube on both the official Turning Point USA channel and The Charlie Kirk Show channel. The event will also be simulcast on Rumble and the organization’s X (formerly Twitter) page.
For those preferring television, the show is scheduled to air on the following networks:
- The Daily Wire
- Real America’s Voice
- Trinity Broadcasting Network
- Charge!
- The National News Desk
- New Tang Dynasty (NTD)
- One America News
