Not sure if this is a fan made page. But still, *Head explodes*.
There is a possibility that this is the actual Thomas!

[staceylala]

I swear to god if they tour this year, I'll kill a man. I just spent all my money on a holiday.

But yh, I'm not getting my hopes up tbh.

[axelF]

hmm is this for real? because if it is, I dont want to have to change my underwear again.

[Hiroko]

Last time I checked, neither member of DP was very keen on using Facebook; besides, there's always a chance it's some n00b hyping other people up at their expense. >_>

Still, I'd LIKE for DP to announce touring in 2011. That'd be hot.

NO IT WOULDN'T! I HAVE NO MONEY!!! Stupid Ibiza.

[rustypolished]

D: I can't imagine that page is legit, but still, it doesn't hurt to hope, right?

[Do my daft]

Fake! for one reason, look at the biography. It says " Thomas Bangalter, the most influential artist in house music."
Tomas would never say that, let alone in 3rd person.

Clearly there are a more influential artists in house music that Thomas.

[rustypolished]

Oh lord, tumblr is LOSING it over this now.

The internet is a truly bizarre place. ~_~

[staceylala]

And Tumblr gets trolled again. Sometimes it's just TOO easy.

[CerebroBullet]

What we do know: Daft Punk is currently designing a national stadium headlining tour for 2011/2012. The Daily Swarm spoke with the Managing Partner and Head of Music of CAA, which represents Daft Punk, and he said he expects "the film soundtrack and tour will lead a dance music juggernaut worldwide. This is going to be the biggest tour of next year."
http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/crossfade/2010/09/daft_punk_to_tour_in_20112012.php

... Maybe, then?

[Electro_Ma]

Yeah, I can't believe people think Thomas or Guy would even have Facebook accounts! That's just not their style. When they decide to tour again it's gonna be a huge announcement!

[AnonymsDogMan]

I thought Thomas and Guy were sort off against showing their faces, if this FB account was real then why does he have so many pics of himself up on this profile? I am going to say the Facebook account is defiantly fake.
As for the people saying that they are lining up a stadium tour for 2011/2012, these comments can't be trusted. I mean on the official Daft Punk website they said that they would be touring in 2010/2011 and nothing has come of that yet.

[JJGHWULL]

Can anyone confirm this is a fake/for real?

Why would someone else have a Tbang facebook, if Tbang could have that himself. I would sue someone for that!

[theworldisdaft]

This is obviously a fake, why are peope still discussing this?

[AnonymsDogMan]

This is obviously a fake, why are people still discussing this?
Because these people, like me, are so desperately longing for a tour that anything that will promote discussion and hope will be enough for them to continue the topic. I am pretty sure this is fake, however I am still interested in discussing when they WILL be announcing a tour...tomorrow please...that would be nice *goes off into delusional world state where DP released an album every year and play in my home town every week.*

[digitallove94]

Hmmm I really wanna believe this.

[Spade]

Hmmm I really wanna believe this.


Me too...but I'm not. lol.

[`belle]

I don't see them touring without releasing a new album beforehand. Maybe they'll release a new album later this year and tour in 2012. (Please, oh, pleeaase!)

[digitallove94]

Me too...but I'm not. lol.

Good call I say.

[Humanized_After_All]

Heh, this reminds me of a discussion that keeps popping up every year.

There's this big festival in my country and everytime they are in the process of releasing some of the line-up, the local forums always spark up with the rumor that Daft Punk is attending that year, leading to some heated debate between the daft punk fans and haters :p

[john_marston]

there are lots of TBs and GMs on facebook. Just DP fans trying to get FB friends. fake, duhuh

Don't you guys remember Joseph Kosinsky PROMISED us at a comic con daft punk would tour after tron!!
I give him a month, then we lynch him

[theworldisdaft]

[thedaft186]

looks at facebook thing. oh my go! thinks about it. ..... crap. Sees what other people have to say about their manager promising tour. OH MAH GOD!

[daq422]

i still don't know if this is a legit account. Still awaiting confirmation.

[daftopunku]

it's not probably not a real account but oh well. i'm still hopeful. maybe they'll tour but it will be with new material that hasn't necessarily been put on a studio album. that'd be their style, the whole unexpected thing.

[Agent RayBans]

While we are at it, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are totally real.

:P

[C86]

If it is not on their Myspace page (as far as im concerned) it didn't happen...this is a wise philosophy to live by

[AL3X_M]

Gotta agree with this. Though, I find that Myspace is kinda falling out socially. Seems like Facebook is more the place to go now. Myspace seems like just a music artist website now.

But I mean we ARE supposed to have some sort of Tour SOON. I'd be really surprised if there wasn't any sort of information between now and Summer 2011 about a tour. Even an official announcement of an announcement would suffice for me.

Wait, what? D'8

Why oh why must people torture us with all this speculation?!? I can't remember how many times I've heard that "Daft Punk will announce a tour very soon" in the past five years, come to think of it. They'll probably decide to do a tour once everyone stops speculating so that no-one will see it coming, which will be in 555590920844659157734501 years. Sadface.

[AnonymsDogMan]

I can't remember how many times I've heard that "Daft Punk will announce a tour very soon" in the past five years

Then you will remember that time 5 years ago when they did actually tour.

[Hiroko]

Then you will remember that time 5 years ago when they did actually tour.

Speaking of which, how did they announce it? Perhaps knowing that will help us ascertain what is an actual announcement and what is not.

I mean, I already said that I think this announcement's fake, but meh.

[theworldisdaft]

Speaking of which, how did they announce it?



They sent out letters attatched to pigeons to all big news companies who then went on th spread the word on joy.

[ObnoxiousTeaCup]

Then you will remember that time 5 years ago when they did actually tour.

Lol, I just realised my typo. I meant the following five years after Alive 2007, if you couldn't figure it out.

[AnonymsDogMan]

Lol, I just realised my typo. I meant the following five years after Alive 2007, if you couldn't figure it out.

The following 5 years after alive 2007 ended? So you mean until 22nd of December 2012?

... if you can see into the future...can you tell us when they are going to tour?

[GijsH]

cmon wise ass

[ObnoxiousTeaCup]

Ahhh, screw it. You know what I mean, I'm just too tipsy to explain it properly. Im only 15 for crying out loud!

[ekmell]

so guys i wanna ask a question: What is the result? is it real or fake. because if its real i'll have a hearth attack.:)

[Champiness]

It's most likely not real. So for now, anyway, your hearth is safe!

[Feralpartykids]

Daft Punk is playing a show April 17th.Location unknown this is coming from a reputable source.http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c7/insanedrifter/Screenshot2011-02-20at81404PM.png

All dates on this list match with shows through GBH.tv and Webster Hall in NYC
This is from Alex English's facebook page

[Spade]

Oh yeah, because someone's Facebook page is the most reputable source ever.

[Feralpartykids]

Do you know who Alex English is?

[Atlas23]

It's far too easy to just start a fan page for a celebrity, post some pics of him and then write a post as if you were them. It would be nice if this was true, but I doubt it. :sad:

[daftpunk11]

i would say this is fake but i hope they do have a 2011 tour

[Shift_Ctrl]

YOu would think he would have a better picture

[Burnin']

Guy-Man says the same on FB (but i dont know if they are real)

[Agent ofXana]

I'm thinking more 2012 than 2011, based off the fact that they said they would be taking a break after Tron and had no plans of doing a tour this according to an LA Times article a few months back.

[Hiroko]

I'm thinking more 2012 than 2011, based off the fact that they said they would be taking a break after Tron and had no plans of doing a tour this according to an LA Times article a few months back.

Personally I'm okay with this option. :x Even if NOT 2012, it's worth it for them to chill and think up new material.

[AnonymsDogMan]

I would like a new studio album before a new tour to be honest. They don't have much new material to use on a new tour. The Tron OST wouldn't be enough to tour with, and I don't think there is much they can do with it.

Why do they have to play only their own music? DP was notorious for playing sets back in the day that only featured 3 songs or so by themselves TOPS.

[AnonymsDogMan]

Because if I went to a Daft Punk concert and they didn't play around with Daft Punk/Daft Punk related songs, I would be very sad :(
Back in the day they didn't have a very large library and the great connection with the audience that they do now.

[theworldisdaft]

Why do they have to play only their own music? DP was notorious for playing sets back in the day that only featured 3 songs or so by themselves TOPS.

I like this idea and would very much like to see what tracks they would put on, but sadly they haven't djed like this in a long while (yes, I heard about the little tron gig but I mean them playing in clubs). Also, compared to them pulling off a '97 or '07, a dj set is nothing.

[Micha]

...I'm still waiting for this.

[Champiness]

We all are, Micha. And the pain grows stronger and stronger every day until eventually we kidnap them and force them to perform for us in a secluded Parisian basement.
...So who's in?

I imagine an actual announcement wouldn't come from either member himself, would it?

[Agent ofXana]

I imagine an actual announcement wouldn't come from either member himself, would it?

I imagine they would announce it the same way they did last time. Though I don't oppose Guy-Man or Thomas doing so. c:

The Arches, Glasgow set says YO

[EgoLogical]

Well in daftalive.com DP did say that they will do a tour in 2010 or 2011 ._.

[john_marston]

I hope they come up with something soon... Since alive 2007 they've done only the tron score which took 2 years to make, although they said they worked on new material during the making of tron. So let's say they took the rest of 07 off, they started working on tron half way through '08 and where done half way in '10. Let's say they then did nothing till it came out. So apparently they've been working hard since. So they've been buisy with something the last 3-4 months...

I hope it's a new album, then a tour. I mean let's be real, the last album came out 6 years ago... I hope they've realized and are making a new one. They've had 4 years to do tron!

I'm just thinking out loud here...

Not necessarily; we've been punked out on things like this before. With the fake announcements though they were usually by far the most famous artists on the roster so it's reassuring to see artists like Skrillex and the Chems confirmed as well.

Yes I'm well aware of that. But that post was also extremely poorly-written ("shangri"?) and seemingly thrown together in a very short time just to keep people from buying the fake tickets. I doubt whoever wrote it was especially "in the know".
Still, this seems to be the most legitimate chance for a real DP show we've had since they were actually on tour, so I'm keeping my hopes up.

[Fundave]

personally i hope they hold off till 2013 because then ill be 18 and actually be allowed to go to the show, and not have to travel to obscure locations around the world to see them (which i will if i must).

[Boob Ross]

Most likely they'll release some Studio Album first... Be honest, they don't have much to tour with... The allready toured with their 3 Studioalbums, and Tron Ost is not dance-compatible... Also it does not seem to be possible to mix tron sounds with some older stuff (like Technologic/derezzed or so on)... All in all there is one thing we can do: Wait! Even if it will take another 5 years!

[daftgrrl]

seriously, if i have to (obviously) i am going to wait!!! but... i am going to explode. I can't wait, and the thought of them NEVER touring again just breaks me. lol sad

[Fundave]

wait till 2013. release a new album first. then ill be allowed to goooooooo yayyyyyyy
*selfish laugh*

[Camerabob1]

Hopefully the "Drive" hype will influence Daft Punk to do something. Not necessarily a tour, but maybe a single or collaboration or something.

[Boob Ross]

but maybe a single or collaboration or something.

SOMETHING would be enough lol... I wonder what they do all the time? Go out? No, they are to famous... Produce music? No, they don't do :( Sitting around and stare at a wall? I think thats it lol

[daftgrrl]

there could be a personal reason as to why they haven't done a tour yet? someone close in the family ill? spending time with their loved ones? something? i mean they are human after all. lol maybe they are planning a tour? who knows. tickets will go fast though, i know that much.

[Champiness]

You fool! Nothing motivates them to do anything until the hype of their last action dies down and everyone's moved on. Then they re-emerge from the ether and wow us.
