Daft Punk

Unless they turn up to accompany Mik  Artistik.

I imagine they'll do a normal Daft Punk set for the main set, like Alive 2007, and then perhaps do an encore of Lose yourself to dance and Get Lucky with Nile Rodgers & Pharrell. Can't imagine them doing a full set with a band, but also can't imagine them ignoring the hype created from RAM

[Mash011]

It'll be a regular DJ style set but I could see them bringing out some little live bits on top of it like Nile's guitar, maybe a live bass or something and some guest singers.

If this happens id like to think the Pyramid being a pyramid was a major factor in them agreeing to play. A pyramid setup on the Pyramid is just too good to pass up

Mik's electronics are far too advanced for Daft Punk to master.

They coped this year dressed up as robot king prawns to twiddle the knobs for Lekkido Lord of the Lobsters.

I've never really gotten the Daft Punk thing either (the odd tune aside). I can't help thinking that if they didn't wear helmets and played live more regularly, about 75% less people would give a sh1t.

There's a lot to be said for not touring relentlessly. The pay days may be less frequent but they sure as hell are bigger!

Nile did confirm he'd be at coachella in some capacity...

i think my stance with this Daft Punk rumour is, they won't do Glastonbury and not Coachella - so We'l just see how those rumours pan out

and he also said earlier this year (or possibly late last year?) that Chic were playing Glastonbury 2017.

we've heard a rumour that very specifically said Daft Punk would be headlining the Friday next year.

I've no idea if it's right or not, tho there's good reason to think it might be.

lol here we go again mind you more chance of DP than PJ lol

yeah i was thinking the same. was surprised he wasn't there this year so if he's got new material on the way i fully expect him to be booked next year in a prominent position

I figured that it's more likely that it's The Weeknd's song and Daft Punk are doing some production work like they've recently done for Kanye and Pharrell. Can't really imagine them, both being huge worldwide artists, booking corresponding tour schedules though but perhaps.

'Homework' is amazing you gaggle of maniacs 

I support you fully in this opinion.  Neglected that album for a while, remedying it right now.

[Bort]

There have been rumors about them playing Coachella (and Primavera), but also "no, that's bullshit" info as well.

Hello eFestivals,

New member here. I look for daily status updates on /r/coachella and this rumour got referenced.

I think that you're talking about this.

I have no other contribution to this thread apart from saying that it's impossible not to be happy, even being a "rumour" at this time. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I dunno if an "exclusive Euro deal" is something that Glastonbury would really worry about.

On the basis that Glasto do not try to get exclusive deals in any shape or form for any act, that's got to be called out as bullshit.

Being in Ibiza this year and seeing Around the World live for the first time blew me away, and I always just saw it as an okay track and nothing more. Fresh and Revolution 909 off of Homework along with Around the World are my favourite tracks from that album. Then of course, One More Time going off at the pyramid will be a really special moment

[DropBeat]

Yeah, very difficult not to get excited about this, even as a rumour.

We can all be excited until Coldplay are confirmed again.

Or until the grand helmets off reveal at the end of their set when we find out it's been Chris Martin and Noel Edmonds performing for us this entire time. No bigger comedown
