Turning Point USA unveils lineup as alternative to Super Bowl halftime show

Rumors of ICE at 2026 Super Bowl start to swirl

We are now hearing that speculation is starting to grow surrounding whether ICE agents will be at the 2026 Super Bowl in California where Bad Bunny is set to perform the Halftime Show. This comes as the Latin superstar was announced as the headliner for the Apple Music Super Bowl halftime show. LiveNOW?s Andy Mac is currently getting exclusive updates from TMZ's Michael Babcock.

On Monday, Turning Point USA announced more details for its "All American Halftime Show" – an alternative to the Super Bowl Halftime show.

Turning Point USA said the alternate halftime show will be a "unique, patriotic event proudly celebrating American culture, freedom, and faith." 

What they're saying:

"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," Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said of the halftime show. "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. These performers will deliver exactly that, and we can’t wait to watch the incredible show they’re about to put on. We know millions around the country will be watching too."

The concert will air opposite the NFL’s official halftime show, headlined by Latin music star Bad Bunny – a selection that has sparked backlash from some conservatives.

Kid Rock added: "He’s said he’s having a dance party, wearing a dress, and singing in Spanish? Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America."
