Turning Point USA's "All-American Halftime Show" memorialized the conservative action group's slain founder Charlie Kirk. Giant screens showed pictures of Kirk, who was fatally shot during an event in Utah last year. There were issues for viewing as due to licensing, it couldn’t be streamed on X. The show, which intentionally had a small live audience, was billed as alternative counter programming to the Super Bowl 60 halftime show after backlash from some over the NFL's choice of Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny to headline the event. It featured energetic performances from headliner Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Gabby Barrett and Brantley Gilbert. The show drew more than six million viewers on YouTube.
Here is the set list from the show:
Brantley Gilbert - “Real American”
Brantley Gilbert - “Dirt Road Anthem”
Gabby Barrett – “I Hope”
Gabby Barrett – “The Good Ones”
Lee Brice – “Drinking Class”
Lee Brice – “Country Nowadays”
Lee Brice – “Hard to Love”
Kid Rock – “Bawitdaba”
Kid Rock – “Till You Can’t”
