Started in Finland as an effort to increase overall world peace through the beauty of air guitar, the World Air Guitar Championship has now become an international phenomenon with contestants from over 50 countries competing for the world title as well as regional contests in over 20 cities in the U.S. Austin, dubbed by many as the live music capitol of the world, also seems poised to also claim the title of Air guitar capitol of the world. On the last Tuesday of the month, come to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, the official host venue of the Austin Air Guitar regionals to either watch the spectacle or to blast out your hottest air licks on stage. It's free to compete in and regular admission to watch what we feel comfortable saying is the most fulfilling 90 minutes of entertainment in the southwest. For a complete list of rules, FAQ for new contestants, video clips from last year and tickets to all of the 2006/2007 season performances, check out the AUSTIN AIR GUITAR WEBSITE.

NOTE: competitors are admitted free to the event. If you are going to compete, please email an MP3 of your one minute solo selection to the Air Guitar Head Office at least 4 hours prior to the competition. You can bring a CD on the night of the show, but this is more prone to technical difficulty. We highly recommend sending us the song in advance so we can test the audio balance the sound levels.
