Stage is ready for the airientation day of the Air Guitar World Championships - Ilmakitaransoiton MM-kisat

15/06/2026

We're excited to announce that World Music School AIR will once again host Airientation, the official welcome event of the Air Guitar World Championships, on 26 August 2026.

For many years, Airientation has been the moment when air guitarists from around the world first come together before the championships. Since 2024, this tradition has found a home at the World Music School AIR, the world's first permanent air guitar school in Oulu. Expect a unique mix of Finnish traditions and international culture, including community activities, music, sauna, games, food, workshops, and the opportunity to meet performers arriving from across the globe.

As Oulu celebrates its year as European Capital of Culture, Airientation 2026 will be a special opportunity to welcome the world to our city through creativity, participation, and the spirit of Make Air Not War. More details coming soon.
