It’s time to dust off the virtual battle axe, because the US Air Guitar - Austin Regionals are upon us for a one night only event of the shreddingest, most insane spectacle of supreme Air mayhem in the world!

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 will host the touring regional championship show at the Highball on Tuesday, April 13

Further news and details on the contest can be found at the Austin Air Guitar Facebook Group.

Each competitor has 60 seconds to perform air guitar to a song they either choose before the competition or bring with them. Contestants are judged on the 4.0-6.0 figure skating scale. Costumes are highly recommended as is a little practicing in the mirror, although we have had many amazing walk-up competitors over the years.

In previous years there have been several preliminary rounds leading up to the Austin Regionals, but this year’s event at the Highball will be your only chance to grab that air axe and grind it for a chance to compete in the nationals! Sign up at US Air Guitar.com today.
