The Dark Horses have now been selected
The second round of Dark Horse sign-ups closed earlier this week on Monday, and the contestants of the 2024 qualification have now been selected. Oulu welcomes a wide-ranging line-up of international air guitar talent, with Dark Horses arriving from even eight different countries. In addition to domestic contestants, air guitarists will arrive from France, Great Britain, Japan, Sealand, Taiwan, USA, Germany, and Ireland. Once again the French impress us with the amount of participants, as even as many as six Dark Horses represent France in the qualifications.
With no exceptions this year, we’ll be seeing some old familiar air guitar professionals, as well as some new additions to the sport. In addition to eighteen Dark Horses chosen through sign-ups, it is yet to be seen how many of the national organizations send out an official Dark Horse along with their National Champion who’s going straight to Friday’s final.
The Dark Horses qualifications are held on Thursday 22nd of August, at 45 Special Club in Oulu City Centre, starting at 8 PM.
