Their performance in Sydney on December 22, 2007 will remain the last of the French duo.
In the electronic scene, and in the music scene, fans around the world have a dream performance, an expected return, a return to the stage of our favorite artist, and many times that does not happen. This is what is happening to us with the French duo daft punka true eminence of electronic music and, possibly, the French group that has most influenced the future of this style.
We look back at 2021; Daft Punk announce their separation
In case you didn’t know, the next Olympic Games They will take place next year in Paris. A date like this well deserves to have musical performances in style, and what better than Daft Punk to lead this celebration? Thomas Jolly, artistic director of the Paris Olympic Games, had to think the same thing.
We have discovered all this through the recent statements of Thomas Jolly for an interview with the media France Inter. “I would be very happy if they were at this ceremony. “We can’t not think about it.” “You can’t help but think of Daft Punk when you think of a successful international showcase for a French group.” These comments moved quickly through the networks, creating great expectations among the French public, and every person who loves electronic music. It is a pity that, at the end of October, he denied this possibility; “My comments were confusing and raised many expectations”he mentioned.
Mes propos ont été confus et ont généré beaucoup d’attentes.
I give me a clarification: After I change my possible presence at the ceremony, the decision of the group is not necessary and I cannot participate.Je respecte cette décision et m’excuse de l’ambiguïté de mes propos. https://t.co/W02RwzTIzI

“I must clarify, after discussing a possible presence at the ceremony, that the group’s decision is not to participate. “I respect this decision and apologize for the ambiguity of my comments.”. Following this, one of the representatives of the French duo informed Pitchfork magazine of the duo’s decision not to participate in the Olympic Games in his country.
It is very easy to play with the illusion of those who love this thing called electronic music. Luckily or unfortunately, we will always be able to enjoy the performances of their legendary Alive tour in 2007. Long live Daft Punk.
