The 2026 Modern Classic Cup Finals run October 1 to 4 at Farris Bad in Larvik, Norway. This is the global championship for the traditional-technique Aufguss format, which the governing body established to honor the ritual's therapeutic roots while Show Aufguss continues to innovate in the entertainment space.
What Makes Modern Classic Different
Modern Classic strips out costumes, lighting rigs, elaborate props, and theatrical narratives. Competitors rely on music, essential oils, heat management, atmosphere, thematic coherence, and classic waving techniques to shape the room.
Why Farris Bad
Farris Bad is one of Norway's premier wellness resorts and the training base for Lasse Eriksen, vice president of the Aufguss World Masters and mentor to several top global competitors including 2025 UK Champion Zak Moore. Hosting the Modern Classic Finals at Farris Bad is a deliberate choice to anchor the traditional format in Nordic thermal culture.
