Turning Point USA has released its performance plan for its alternative Super Bowl halftime show - and it has fallen flat with a lot of people.
The show was created to give viewers an alternative to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 60 event on Sunday, (February 8).
It's being organized by the late Charlie Kirk’s political establishment, Turning Point USA, currently headed by is widow, Erika who has taken over position as its CEO.
As announced on its website, the All American Halftime Show will include performances from the likes of Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett - but people haven’t taken the news well.

On social media, people have aired their thoughts on the line-up, having previously begged for long-time conservative country singer, Jason Aldean, to participate.
Unfortunately for them, he’s not been pegged as a performer.
“Anyone else disappointed? Honestly your marketing team could have did a better job on this flyer and advertising this event,” one person wrote on X.
A second penned: “I'll be watching but I am a little disappointed in this lineup. Going to struggle getting Gen Z to care.”
“I knew it would be Kid Rock and 3 people I’ve never heard of,” another wrote, as someone else complained: “Y’all remember that TPUSA Halftime show they announced and everyone was like ‘Get Creed’ and ‘I hope they don’t get someone like Kid Rock’. They got Kid Rock….”
However, some were pretty stoked at the prospect of seeing the singers on stage.
One person wrote: “This is going to be massive! Is everyone tuning in?”
Another said: “Can't wait to see Kid Rock & the crew rock the halftime stage! Who's your top pick?”
As you can expect from this particular crown, there has been some criticism about Bad Bunny potentially performing in Spanish, as he usually does, to an American crowd.
“I’ve never heard of him,” Donald Trump chimed in during an interview with Newsmax in October 2025. “I don’t know who he is. I don’t know why they’re doing it. It’s, like, crazy.”
Bad Bunny had a massive historic win at the 2026 Grammys, having took home the Album of the Year on February 1, and has been vocal about sticking to his roots when singing.
During his Saturday Night Live hosting opportunity in October 2025, he hilariously told the audience that they had ‘four months to learn’ Spanish in preparation for his show.
TPUSA’s show will livestream on Turning Point USA’s official social media channels, and also on outlets like The Daily Wire and Trinity Broadcasting Network.
