Daft Punk - Let's start the petition right here, right now

[rexclark]

What are you basing this on? Not saying I don't believe you but just wondering if there is some DP info I'm unaware of

[rexclark]

I've heard something today that contradicts that.

[eFestivals]

Was this the case originally though or was the talk of them not being ready till August just hearsay?

no idea - I'd not been paying attention to anything to have heard "of them not being ready till August".

[Macca3031]

To be honest I can't remember but there has been a few people mentioned it on here and it was looking likely that they might play Bestival as it's in September.

[Bort]

There's some info, but nothing very solid towards Glasto as yet.

[LondonTom]

Fantastic but surely this is setting them up for a clash with Pulp on the sunday? If both turn out to be true got hop for a saturday night daft punk party against coldplay (or the otherway round with coldplay for the locals )

[Bort]

If Coldplay headlines, Daft Punk would be an amazing alternative.

[fnchy77]

Yes please

I would love to see it but I don't see any evidence of it happening or any reason why they would choose to play glastonbury unfortunately.

They look like they could be in the country in June already and unless some other fest gets them on an exclusive I could definately see them at Glastonbury.

Would love you to be right but just dont see it, their tours are pretty sporadic and have not usualy contained many dates, usually american festivals and some european shows, I know they did glasto years back and more recently have played wireless and I think Global Gathering in this country but no real affiliation to the fest in the way that Chemicals Bros, Fatboy Slim or Orbital may have.

We know that Glastonbury is the best thing ever and that they should be ringing up Eavis and asking to play but lets not forget that these guys are French and to them it is probably just another festival (and one that wont pay them much cash..)

Maybe I should stop being so pessimistic ..

Again, very true. They're rumoured for Rockness and Glastonbury. From what I've heard these rumours could be nothing or they could be completely true. Time will tell I suppose. I'm pretty sure they'll realise how big a deal playing Glastonbury is otherwise why would anyone play the fest as we all know they don't pay alot of cash.

wonder when we'll get any concrete news about gigs/festivals for them...

seems to be all i can think about now

[TheSeventhOne]

I failed to get a Glasto ticket, so I hope they play Wireless or something similar.

If what I've heard is correct, your wish will be granted.

neil, what do you reckon the chance of a glasto spot for them are?

more than 50/50 - but that's not me giving any sort of guarantee (just so it's clear).

[zeppelin]

cheers, higher than i thought but not gonna get my hopes up

would make my weekend i think haha

[2reese2]

oh my, if daft punk play i would be over the moon, what is the most likely festival they would play.

have a feeling some rubbish festival with lots of money (v) might grab them.
