MAGA\u2019s first choice<\/a> to replace Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show has quietly ducked out of a MAGA-coded tour headlined by Kid Rock.<\/p>\n

The 90s Christian rock band Creed has disappeared from promotional materials for the \u201cRock the Country<\/a>\u201d tour, fans noticed on Friday. The move comes after Kid Rock, 55, who was announced as the headliner for Turning Point USA\u2019s alternative \u201cAll American Halftime Show\u201d<\/a> last week, was called out for his sexualized comments about the then-14-year-old Olsen twins<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Gross lyrics from his 2001 song \u201cCool, Daddy, Cool\u201d also resurfaced, in which he sings, \u201cYoung ladies, young ladies, I like \u2018em underage, see,\u201d and \u201cSome say that\u2019s statutory, but I say it\u2019s mandatory.\u201d <\/p>\n

Kid Rock has headlined \u201cRock the Country\u201d since the festival\u2019s inception<\/a> in 2024. Creed, which consists of members Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, Scott Stapp, and Brian Marshall, did not offer a reason for dropping out.<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast has reached out to a rep for the band for comment.<\/p>\n

MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec, 40, floated the Christian rock band as the ideal choice<\/a> for the Super Bowl halftime show as he bemoaned Bad Bunny\u2019s selection in October, despite Creed not releasing a hit record in 23 years. <\/p>\n

\u201cSure would be a shame if @TPUSA hosted a counter-Superbowl halftime show with Creed,\u201d Posobiec wrote on X before the late Charlie Kirk\u2019s Turning Point USA confirmed Kid Rock<\/a> instead. \u201cBy every measure Creed has earned the Super Bowl halftime gig. It is time for them to take us Higher. To a place with golden streets.\u201d <\/p>\n

He added during an appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show, \u201cWe need Creed. We need Scott Stapp flying down from the rafters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Creed was set to perform at the tour\u2019s Anderson, South Carolina, stop before bowing out. The band\u2019s quiet removal from the lineup comes after rapper Ludacris\u2014who was swiftly called out by fans online<\/a> for his participation\u2014and country singers Morgan Wade and Carter Faith all pulled out of the festival without explanation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rock band Shinedown also withdrew its participation, but explained the decision in an Instagram post<\/a>. \u201cWe feel that we have been given a platform to bring all people together through the power of music and song,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cOur purpose is to unite, not divide\u2026we have made the decision that we will not be playing the Rock The Country festival.\u201d <\/p>\n

Other musicians still slated to perform include Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Jelly Roll, Nelly, and Miranda Lambert. The festival is scheduled to begin its seven-stop run in May 2026.<\/p>\n
