News of the Weird - Turning Point Plans Competing Half-Time Show [View all]

https://www.axios.com/2025/10/09/turning-point-usa-bad-bunny-rival-super-bowl-halftime-show

Turning Point USA on Thursday said it will host a competing show to Bad Bunny's 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance.

Why it matters: The announcement capitalizes on MAGA outrage over the NFL's selection of the Puerto Rican artist, who skipped shows in the continental U.S., partly because of concerns with ICE raids.

Performers and event details were not yet announced for the "All American Halftime Show," which will, per Turning Point, celebrate "faith, family and freedom" on Feb. 8.
Driving the news: Conservative uproar followed the announcement of Bad Bunny, one of the world's most popular artists, as the Super Bowl halftime headliner.


I see elsewhere that they're considering featuring Creed for the show.
