The World Cup Air Guitar happens every year in the Finnish town of Oulu. An event where fifteen amateur rock stars from all over the world compete for the title of world champion air guitar player. The World Cup is full of wild outfits, screaming looks and ecstatic attitudes. 

The candidates performe on a self-chosen song and all have to freestyle on two chosen songs. It is something you might want to add to your bucket list. August is also the perfect time to visit Finland. The days are long and the temperature is amazing.
