Kid Rock has been confirmed to headline Turning Point USA’s alternative halftime show at the Super Bowl on February 8th, 2026.
Those in the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, will be entertained before the game by rock legends Green Day, before Grammy-winning superstar Bad Bunny will take to the stage at halftime.
Notably, both Green Day and Bad Bunny have been vocal critics of the Trump administration, as well as the ongoing ICE operations in the United States, which led to a backlash from conservatives in the United States.
After Bad Bunny was confirmed as the headliner, Trump described it as a “crazy” decision, as well as admitting that he had not heard a note of his music.
Then, last week, Trump said he was “anti-them” in reference to Bad Bunny and Green Day. He also confirmed he would not be in attendance for the sporting occasion.
Additionally, Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, announced its plans for an alternative Super Bowl halftime show, and now, they have officially revealed their lineup.
The concert, which has been billed as the All-American Halftime Show, will feature Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett.
In addition to being broadcast on Turning Point USA’s social media channels, it will also be shown on Daily Wire+, Real America’s Voice and One America News Network.
In a statement, Kid Rock said about his upcoming performance, “We’re approaching this show like David and Goliath. Competing with the pro football machine and a global pop superstar is almost impossible … or is it?”
Kid Rock did previously make an appearance at the actual Super Bowl halftime show in 2004, when he guested alongside Nelly on ‘Hot in Here’.
Notably, the Super Bowl will arrive exactly a week after Bad Bunny had an unforgettable night at the Grammys, winning three awards, including the prestigious ‘Album of the Year’.
After winning ‘Best Música Urbana Album’, he delivered a message to those in attendance, “Before I say thanks to god, I’m going to say, ICE out.” He added, “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are humans, and we are Americans.”
He also urged his supporters, “The hate gets more powerful with more hate, the only thing that is more powerful than hate is love, so please we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love,” before adding, “We don’t hate them, we love our people, and we love our family. We love, don’t forget that please.”
