Kid Rock Headlines Turning Point’s Conservative Halftime Show
Kid Rock will headline Turning Point USA’s conservative alternative halftime show during the Super Bowl. The event, labeled the “All-American” Halftime Show, was announced by TPUSA on Monday.
Background of the Halftime Show
Turning Point USA, founded by political activist Charlie Kirk, aimed to create a patriotic response to the backlash against the NFL’s choice of Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny for the main halftime show. Kid Rock, known for his strong opinions, equated the challenge of competing with major artists to David and Goliath.

Aside from Kid Rock, the show will feature several notable musicians, including:
- Brantley Gilbert
- Lee Brice
- Gabby Barrett

Message of the Show
According to TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet, the halftime event aims to celebrate values of faith, family, and freedom. The initiative positions itself as a non-political celebration, contrasting the broader themes often associated with mainstream halftime shows.
Politically Charged Context
Bad Bunny, who has been critical of former President Donald Trump, made headlines recently for his achievements in music, becoming the first artist to win the album of the year award for a non-English-language album at the Grammys. His advocacy and remarks regarding immigration have stirred significant conversation in political circles.
The upcoming performance by Kid Rock and others is set against a backdrop of contrasting musical styles and cultural perspectives, further highlighting the divide in contemporary entertainment options. Turning Point USA’s event is a direct response to evolving themes in the Super Bowl’s halftime offerings.
