Ten of country music’s most influential artists will take the stage together for a historic broadcast titled “The All-American Halftime Show,” a live television event set to air opposite the Super Bowl halftime on February 9, 2026.
The lineup features a who’s who of country royalty: Alan Jackson, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, George Strait, Vince Gill, Carrie Underwood, Brooks & Dunn, Garth Brooks, and Trisha Yearwood. Produced by Erika Kirk, widow of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, the show aims to honor the values her husband championed — faith, family, and freedom.
“Charlie believed that music could remind America of its heart,” Kirk said during a press conference at the Ryman Auditorium. “This event carries that message forward.”
Broadcast live from Nissan Stadium, the show will feature over 2,000 feet of LED projection, a 250-member gospel choir, and a live orchestra. Performances will include Jackson’s “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” and a collaborative finale of a new original anthem titled “One Nation Under Song.”
Proceeds will benefit the Charlie Kirk Foundation for American Families, funding scholarships, veteran support, and faith-based initiatives nationwide.
“Music has always been America’s greatest storyteller,” Garth Brooks said in a statement. “And this story — about unity and home — is one we all share.”
Within hours of the announcement, hashtags like #AllAmericanHalftime and #OneNationUnderSong trended worldwide, underscoring the show’s emotional and cultural reach.
