Kid Rock says he plans to go crazy on Super Bowl Sunday with a surprise for fans. He has not shared any details yet, but he promises it will be something people will talk about.
Kid Rock will perform at a separate halftime event during Super Bowl 60. Turning Point USA is organizing the show and calling it “The All-American Halftime Show.” The group says the event will celebrate faith, family, and freedom. It will stream online at the same time as the NFL’s official halftime show.
Meanwhile, the NFL has chosen global music star Bad Bunny to perform during the official halftime show. League officials expect more than 100 million viewers to watch it. Kid Rock is trying to attract attention with his own event.
Alternate Show Takes Shape
Turning Point USA plans a full lineup for its program. Country artists Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett join Kid Rock on stage. The group promotes the show across several platforms. Fans can watch on TPUSA and Charlie Kirk’s YouTube channels. Viewers can also find it on X, Rumble, The Daily Wire, and other networks.
Organizers hope to attract an audience looking for a different kind of halftime entertainment. They push a patriotic theme. They market the event as an alternative to the NFL production.

Kid Rock fuels excitement with hints of a special guest. He talks about a surprise but keeps quiet on names. Fans already guess about possible appearances. Social media buzz continues to grow as game day gets closer.
Meanwhile, the NFL defends its official halftime pick. Commissioner Roger Goodell backs Bad Bunny without hesitation. “He’s one of the most popular entertainers in the world,” Goodell told reporters. “It’s carefully thought through. I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism. We’re confident it’s going to be a great show.”
Goodell also calls the performance a chance for a shared moment. “I think it’s going to be exciting and a united moment,” he said.
Super Bowl 60 kicks off at 6 p.m. E.T. on Sunday. The official halftime show should begin around 7:45 to 8 p.m. E.T. The Turning Point USA event runs at the same time.
Bad Bunny enters the night as the main attraction for the NFL audience. Kid Rock bets on a different crowd. Both shows compete for attention. Only one has the league’s official backing.
