Great, so they have been planning this tour for the last two years.
Hey...I'm pretty sure it took 2 or 3 years to get Radiohead lined up for 2006...
They also said that they were talking to Bruce Springsteen about an appearance for three years before they were able to lock him up as well.
EDIT: This was posted about the '09 Roo, and they mention not only the Springsteen discussions, but how at the time of this article, they were already in discussions about 2010 and 2011.
All Leno aside, I really hope you are right. If Daft Punk is on the Coachella line up, they will probably be at Roo. If Roo some how steals both Radiohead and Daft Punk from Coachella, holy Leno that would be amazing.
Either way, I am all for Daft Punk at Roo, just not sold yet. Cheers.
Great, so they have been planning this tour for the last two years.
EDIT: Oh and Cheers! Here's to also being hopeful.
I was referencing 2009 because that is when a bunch of fake tour dates were released.
Right, the article is addressing those fake dates. And it says that the band announced that the next time it plans on touring will be in 2011
It's in the first three paragraphs
"In the wake of last week’s ‘Daft Punk in Shanghai’ fiasco, the legendary French duo have released a public statement denouncing the ticketing scam while at the same time revealing the next time they’ll hit the road will be for a world tour in 2010-2011.
“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,” read the statement, posted on Daft Punk’s official Facebook fan page.
“The band’s representatives are currently looking into what future action can be taken regarding the fraudsters responsible for the current scam,” it continued, before leaving the reader with one rather tasty bit of info. “Daft Punk look forward to visiting and performing in China as part of their next world tour, in 2010 or 2011.”

You're right sir. I am now speculating on the relevancy of that info vs the quote from the artist themselves 10 days ago declining comment. We could spend days posting reports from the last two years, but that would be futile.
I want Daft Punk and you want daft punk. JUST GIVE US DAFT PUNK!

ugh, I work with a guy that I was told is from TN, and goes to Bonnaroo (about 3 years ago I was told this) finally met the guy, last Thursday, asked if he goes to Bonnaroo, he does not, a bunch of other festivals though, than tells me one of his close friends is Ashley Capps, I tried a "I heard the Stones & U2 are playing Bonnaroo" he said he did not know, he has not talked to him since August. If I can get anything out of him I will , but such a good story gone bad once he had no info for me, and he wasn't holding out, he just honestly did not know.

The question still remains will Daft Punk tour soon? They have the TRON soundtrack, and were at the movie premiere but have not released anything officially about a tour. I would give up both my ovaries to see them at Bonnaroo, especially a late night set! The anticipation is killing me, I really hope all of the rumors are true.

The thought had occured to me that possibly they are holding off on announcing a tour until all their festival dates are announced.

Rumor about Daft Punk/Third Twin as CoS.....sorry if this has been posted:
The Internet hoax that just… won’t… die may actually be true? Type “The Third Twin” into Google and you’ll find all sorts of, well, claims that The Third Twin is the name of a moniker being used by acclaimed electro duo Daft Punk. According to their now-deceased Wikipedia page (via Ask.com), the duo used the moniker to intentionally leak 12 songs that were rejected for their Tron: Legacy soundtrack, because Disney “was looking for a more orchestral and symphonic soundtrack.” The theory continues:
“Daft Punk, disappointed by the severe restrictions of the contract, decided to introduce their songs to their public who would appreciate this music. They used The Third Twin brandname to avoid legal troubles. This theory is reinforced with the events that took place in 2005 when the album Human After All was leaked on the Internet, weeks before its release.”
Another theory says:
“… that this is not a Tron Legacy´s leak, this is the new Daft Punk album studio leak. Daft Punk has made only three major works (not counting remixes) each with an interval of five years. The idea of a joint launch of the soundtrack to Tron Legacy and the fourth studio album by Daft Punk to the end of 2010 is more than just a theory”
And one last one, for the kids:
“Another theory argues that all this are unpublished songs of previous works by Daft Punk which subsequently leaked intentionally to deny them and give a great impetus to the promotion of the movie. This theory is less usual, Daft Punk avoids the commercialism.”
If that weren’t enough, the believers accompany their claims with actual music, which they argue is that of Daft Punk:
Before today, we chose to disregard the whole Third Twin thing just because a.) the believers don’t know how to use spell check and b.) Daft Punk seemed to enjoy the whole Tron: Legacy experience. Plus, rumors of secret Daft Punk music have been around forever, but have never actually proved factual.
So, why are we writing now? Well, according to a report in Spanish newspaper El Periódico Mediterráneo (via eFestivals), Daft Punk will appear as The Third Twin at the second annual Arenal Sound music festival, where they will perform the songs that Disney refused to put on Tron: Legacy. We reached out to festival organizers, who confirmed that The Third Twin are playing, but when asked how the group is affiliated with Daft Punk, they had no comment.
Arenal Sound is set to take place from August 4-7 at El Arenal de Burriana near Valencia, Spain. We’ll obviously let you know what happens.

this is the one rumor i really don't want to get too emotionally invested in, for fear of it not materializing and leaving me in utter despair
Daft Punk would be the absolute pinnacle of awesomeness for me.
I make this pledge to my fellow inforooers: if Guy-Manuel and Thomas are on the farm this year, the Pre and Post show parties at my camp will be epic and absolutely everything will flow FREE of monetary cost!!

Coachella Leaks is regarded as a joke on the Coachella Boards. That said, I think Daft Punk at Coachella is better for Roo, because it means they are likely touring this year.

CoS just received this press release from Arenal Sound regarding The Third Twin, aka, Daft Punk...
Madrid, January 10, 2011–The Third Twin is a French electronic music duo which is getting very popular around the business in the recent months. The reason is simple: They are directly related to the famous Daft Punk. They are in the second edition of the festival which takes place from August 4-7 at the Playa El Arenal from Burriana, Castellón, Spain. The show up of this mysterious group opens the Arenal Sound line up 2011.
The stage name of The Third Twin emerged supposedly with the aim of publishing the issues proposed by Daft Punk to Disney´s movie “Tron”: Legacy. The company initially considered the material too oriented to electronic sounds because of that they refused it. The company ordered a new batch of compositions more orchestral and traditional which finally took part of the soundtrack of the film which was recently released with great success.
Daft Punk could not sign with their original name, music themes nor use any clear reference to the film for legal reasons. That is the reason why the well-known French electronic tandem had to use allegedly that pseudonym.
The result was The Third Twin or TTT, a music project which contain the songs published that is part of that band sound rejected. It was compiled together in an album entitled “Homemade” where you can find those tracks such as “Evil Minds” “Technolers” or “The Time is Over”. The Third Twin has their own profile on MySpace where they have an extensive music material and songs that made “Homemade” and reached a great amount of visits on YouTube. (http://www.thethirdtwin.com)
Arenal Sound becomes one of the many international festivals on this category to bring significant DJ’s highly praised at the time, The Third Twin. (http://www.arenalsound.com). Just wait and see their performance at the festival to discover if the mystery is revealed.
