Brantley Gilbert is ready to rock a different kind of halftime show during Super Bowl LX.
On February 2, 2026, Turning Point USA announced its roster of performers who will be performing at their so-called rival halftime show.
The All-American Halftime Show, organized in protest of Bad Bunny’s scheduled performance on February 8, 2026, will feature Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Gabby Barrett and Gilbert himself.
The show is expected to be broadcast on Turning Point’s social media channels and networks like Charge! and Real America’s Voice.
While many country music fans are familiar with Gilbert — his debut album was released back in 2009 — others are discovering the artist thanks to his new gig with the right-wing conservative political organization founded by late activist Charlie Kirk and now helmed by his widow, Erika Kirk.
