i got some!

"internet presale" at ticketmaster--use the code "robots"

― max, Friday, 23 March 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Given my money flow I might have to see if someone can snag one for me (with the promise of paying back after my paycheck's in on Thursday).

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I've been daydreaming about quitting my job etc and following them around like they're the Grateful Dead or something.

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 23 March 2007 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Follow your bliss, I say.

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 23 March 2007 18:58 (seventeen years ago) link

tickets got. psyched!

― s1ocki, Friday, 23 March 2007 19:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Holy shit!

No, no, no. HOLY SHIT!

OMG.

― The Reverend, Friday, 23 March 2007 20:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sort of sad that the Rapture aren't playing the LA date, but we get Sebastian.

― max, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

50 bucks... pffff to that.

― chaki, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:23 (seventeen years ago) link

And my euphoria comes crashing to the ground.

― The Reverend, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link

50 bucks... pffff to that.

My exact thought, I gotta admit.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmmm...apparently the Seattle show's only $40, but that's still much steeper than I'd like.

― The Reverend, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link

gotta pay for giant flashing techno pyramids somehow

― sexyDancer, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Their Coachella performance was easily the best concert I've ever experienced. People pay huge sums to see terrible bands (way more than $50). This will be well worth it.

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Face value tickets for:

Police = $260, $98.50, $52
Josh Groban = $99 / $75 / $45 / $35
Killers = $45, $35, $29.50
Keith Urban = $79.50 / $69.50 / $47.50

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

You could save $5 and see Josh Groban.

Seriously, they are the only group that made Coachella worth the money last year.

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

― Scott CE, Friday, 23 March 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

yah well im not going to coachella either.

― chaki, Friday, 23 March 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

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

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 23 March 2007 22:38 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

...Poptimism appearance?

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 25 March 2007 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

i still don't understand the fuss!

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 26 March 2007 09:58 (seventeen years ago) link

someone must have linked this already, but:

daft punk, studio geniuses

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 26 March 2007 10:01 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah but they don't even rap over it

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 26 March 2007 11:22 (seventeen years ago) link

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...

― braveclub, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

one year passes...

― roxymuzak, Monday, 2 February 2009 04:10 (fifteen years ago) link

the concert was so worth 50 bucks by the way, and i wasnt even on any drugs

― max, Monday, 2 February 2009 04:25 (fifteen years ago) link

eight months pass...

one of the best video's of all time?:

― Bee OK, Thursday, 15 October 2009 04:34 (fourteen years ago) link

Which version of the song is that one?

― Moka, Thursday, 15 October 2009 05:14 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh nevermind.

― Moka, Thursday, 15 October 2009 05:20 (fourteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

This is a hoax, isn't it?

― James Mitchell, Monday, 2 November 2009 11:34 (fourteen years ago) link

Probably. More dates:

http://www.datatransmission.co.uk/viewnews.aspx?newsID=3736

― StanM, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:11 (fourteen years ago) link

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 (fourteen years ago) link

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 (fourteen years ago) link

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 (fourteen years ago) link

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

― Ismael Klata, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:31 (fourteen years ago) link

And only one US date...

― James Mitchell, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:32 (fourteen years ago) link

not-so-huge venues

They're even playing in someone's house!

― StanM, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:37 (fourteen years ago) link

oh *please* let this be real.

― Bill A, Monday, 2 November 2009 12:40 (fourteen years ago) link

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 (fourteen years ago) link

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 (fourteen years ago) link

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 (fourteen years ago) link

>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.
