Can't work this one out at all ....
Nul points for guessing which country we're in this week - but which city is it? Thousands of heavy rock fans flock to an island nearby each year and the city hasmade plenty of capital out of its title this year. Two teams battle it out for spuremacy on ice and the city's maritime past shapes an extraordinary new church. Name the city.

The four pictures are of (a) two grotesquely dressed rockers, one singing, the other with a guitar, (b) a statue of a whale's tale on a plinth in front of some kind of waterfall, (c) a boat shaped structure and (d) a couple of ice-hockey players on the ice.

Hope you can help, Many thanks, Chox.
