Air Guitar World Championships
26.-29.8.2026 Oulu, Finland
ACCREDITATION 2026
Media/Press representative – we warmly welcome you to Oulu, Finland to cover the phenomenon that is the Air Guitar World Championships!
Oulu is the European Capital of Culture and Air Guitar World Championships is already 30 years old. That’s why this year’s Championship events are extraordinary.
The outdoor event 27–29 August that crowns the summer of 2026 and the Oulu August Festivals will include, alongside the Air Guitar World Championships, a 45-minute spectacular Delta Life show. In the show, music, movement and light art combine to create a carnivalesque yet deeply moving experience. Dozens of artists will take to a stage built on water at the close of the Oulu August Festivals.
The Air Guitar week brings together like-minded people from all over the world, with all sharing the same goal – playing Air Guitar for world peace. When you’re holding an air guitar in your hands, you can not hold a gun!
Accreditation for the Air Guitar World Championships and Delta Life Grande Finale 27.-29.8.2026
The form is open until August 21, 12 pm (UTC+3).
