Air Guitar World Championships – Finland
In Oulu, Finland, people from all over the globe gather each year to pretend to play instruments—with full-on headbanging, stage dives, and imaginary solos. The Air Guitar World Championships take performance art to a ridiculous extreme, where no actual music is played, but the energy is electric.
The event’s motto, “Make Air Not War,” captures its silly-yet-sincere spirit. Contestants are judged on technical skill (even with no guitar), charisma, and stage presence. It’s weirdly wholesome, deeply entertaining, and exactly the kind of offbeat passion that makes you laugh, cheer, and wonder how it ever became a global movement.
