I'm with Spencer. I bought tickets to the Seattle show last night and I gotta say, it felt like a bargain.

But I have been really desperate to see them for a ling time.

yah well im not going to coachella either.

chaki, Friday, 23 March 2007 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

Supposedly they're playing Lolla this year too. That will definitely make my early-bird $60 tickets worth it.

if they don't come to australia i will cry blood.

Playing UK and Irish festivals towards the end of June and beginning of July? Conspicuous hole in the touring schedule over the last weekend of June? YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, DON'T YOU?

Matt DC, Sunday, 25 March 2007 22:43 (nineteen years ago)

...Poptimism appearance?

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 25 March 2007 22:50 (nineteen years ago)

hearing snippets of their live set in Ireland down the phone now courtesy of kv_nol. soundin' GOOOOOOD.

OMG I was so bladdered, sorry again man.

Can't see them in Ireland as already sold out. Gutted is me.

kv_nol, Monday, 26 March 2007 09:37 (nineteen years ago)

i still don't understand the fuss!

Tracer Hand, Monday, 26 March 2007 09:58 (nineteen years ago)

someone must have linked this already, but:

daft punk, studio geniuses

Tracer Hand, Monday, 26 March 2007 10:01 (nineteen years ago)

genius steals. it makes me like them even more.

gotta love the fact that sampling STILL gets up certain people's noses after all these years, judging from the comments on you tube.

pisces, Monday, 26 March 2007 10:17 (nineteen years ago)

yeah but they don't even rap over it

Tracer Hand, Monday, 26 March 2007 11:22 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...
I'm listening back to Human After All and I have to say I love it now! Not what I was expecting/hoping for at the time but a pretty lovable record in retrospect, I think...

Looking fwd to the 02 Wireless gig in June...

Which version of the song is that one?

Oh nevermind.

This is a hoax, isn't it?

James Mitchell, Monday, 2 November 2009 11:34 (sixteen years ago)

Probably. More dates:

StanM, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:11 (sixteen years ago)

on the other hand, it IS on (their?) last.fm page

http://www.last.fm/music/Daft+Punk/+events

StanM, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:12 (sixteen years ago)

Anyone can add things to artists' last.fm pages, so I wouldn't take it as confirmation. However it's been about 2 years since they've toured, so the timing is about right. At least it's not at the O2.

Jill, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:26 (sixteen years ago)

When they denied that (Singapore?) show in February, they said they were looking to tour in 2010/2011.

StanM, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:31 (sixteen years ago)

The mix of huge and not-so-huge venues is a little suspicious.

Ismael Klata, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:31 (sixteen years ago)

And only one US date...

James Mitchell, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:32 (sixteen years ago)

not-so-huge venues

They're even playing in someone's house!

StanM, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:37 (sixteen years ago)

oh *please* let this be real.

Bill A, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:40 (sixteen years ago)

TRON 2 is coming out in Dec 2010 so these dates which starts end of July (ie post-Comic Con) through fall are def within the right timeframe of a massive promo tour. awesome if true.

Roz, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:49 (sixteen years ago)

Surely the most obvious issue with this is that the alledged gig in Manchester is on a Saturday, during September, when the footy season has begun!

James Mitchell, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:58 (sixteen years ago)

yeah i just looked through the list again and olympic park stadium as the venue in melbourne? not bloody likely.

Roz, Monday, 2 November 2009 13:00 (sixteen years ago)

>the alledged gig in Manchester is on a Saturday

It says Monday 6 September 2010 on that datatransmission page.

TOUR DENIAL
11 Feb 2009 | from www.daftalive.com
DENIAL. Daft Punk is not playing in Shangri.
The band are not touring this year, and at no point were they approached for this show, and at no point was there ever a possibility that they would do such a show.
The band and those around them were made aware of the scam in the last day or so, and are very upset that there are crooks out there trying to rip off the bands loyal fans.
All daft punk shows are announced on the bands official my space sight, and we urge fans to check the sight before purchasing tkts for shows.
The band's representatives are currently looking into what future action can be taken regarding the fraudsters responsible for the current scam
Daft punk look forward to visiting and performing in china as part of their next world tour, in 2010 or 2011.

tomofthenest, Monday, 2 November 2009 13:24 (sixteen years ago)

im guessing that date's meant to be 2nd Nov 09

just sayin, Monday, 2 November 2009 13:29 (sixteen years ago)

I think it's from a different ticket scam earlier in the year. These hoaxers have form.

Ismael Klata, Monday, 2 November 2009 13:44 (sixteen years ago)

Yep, that was in February.

StanM, Monday, 2 November 2009 13:46 (sixteen years ago)

One of the links ^up there identifies this dude as the evil genius behind today's hoax.

Ismael Klata, Monday, 2 November 2009 13:50 (sixteen years ago)

If that watering can robot head is growing out of his head then he might well be part of the Daft Punk crew.

StanM, Monday, 2 November 2009 13:55 (sixteen years ago)

No way in hell are Daft Punk playing Yankee Stadium.

billstevejim, Monday, 2 November 2009 16:58 (sixteen years ago)

OTM

Just for shits and giggles:

http://mlb.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=nyy&m=8&y=2010

There's no game that night, but there is the following day which would mean a 0.00001% chance of them being able to pull off a show there.

I've seen Daft Punk in smaller (2,000) and larger (8,000) capacity venues and although they deserve it, there's no way there going to play in a 50,000+ stadium.

The Yankees have moved across the road, though - I understand that the old stadium is being maintained purely for Daft Punk concerts

Ismael Klata, Monday, 2 November 2009 19:11 (sixteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

Doesn't mean it's any truer, but the NME are reporting this now.

The bugger in the short sleeves (NickB), Friday, 20 November 2009 14:02 (sixteen years ago)

Oh come one NME, do you even try to verify the shit you report now. I say it again, no fucking way is Daft Punk playing Yankee fucking Stadium.

& other try hard shitfests (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 20 November 2009 17:47 (sixteen years ago)

Disappointed they left out the gig at that 150,000-capacity stadium in Pyongyang.

Ismael Klata, Friday, 20 November 2009 17:50 (sixteen years ago)

Unreleased track from '94, really raw and heavy:

I can't figure out if this is a good thing or not.

skrillex pretend (The Reverend), Sunday, 18 September 2011 22:34 (fourteen years ago)

To me, it seems, it is not.

Vision Kreayshawn Newsun (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 18 September 2011 22:38 (fourteen years ago)

v interested in theory, but has Murphy produced much / are his collaborative skills going to bring much with/out of electronic producers, rather than bands recording through amps? There’s the first Juan Maclean album, but that’s probably heavily Goldsworthy, as far as hands-on production goes, I’d guess.
