Country rock artist and vocal Trump supporter Kid Rock will headline counter-program created by Turning Point USA.
Dueling halftime performances will vie for the attention of viewers across the world at Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday night.
One week after winning a Grammy for album of the year, Latin superstar Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show, along with rock band Green Day, who will start the opening ceremony.
Country rock artist Kid Rock will lead the “All-American Halftime Show,” hosted by Turning Point USA, the conservative advocacy group co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk.
The event will run parallel to Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8.
The counter-programming will also showcase performances by country singers Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, and Gabby Barrett, providing entertainment for viewers that celebrate “American culture, freedom, and faith,” a Turning Point USA statement noted.
“Fantastic lineup for the TPUSA halftime show, including the great Bob Ritchie AKA KID ROCK,” Vice President JD Vance wrote on X in response to the news.
The event will livestream on The Epoch Times’ sister media site, NTD News, along with other several other networks, including Real America’s Voice, TBN, and The National News Desk.
“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,” TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said in a statement.
“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,” he added.
The NFL named Bad Bunny to headline the halftime show last September. Green Day’s appearance was announced last month.
Both acts have openly criticized Trump and the MAGA movement.
During a concert last April, Green Day’s lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong altered lyrics to reference his opposition to Trump’s political movement, singing, “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda.”
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been an outspoken critic of federal immigration law enforcement efforts under the Trump administration.
