Could this mean a live comeback from the robots this 2017?
Daft Punk have been confirmed to perform live at the upcoming 59th Grammy Awards ceremony this February 12. The robots will be performing with their recent collaborator The Weeknd.
Last year, the robot duo teamed up with The Weeknd for a number of tracks for his latest album ‘Starboy’, notably the lead single and title track, as well as the acclaimed ‘I Feel It Coming’, which still holds a number 4 spot at Y101’s Weekly Top 20.

This week, the Recording Academy has confirmed that the reclusive robot duo will be returning for an increasingly rare live appearance to perform with The Weeknd at the Grammys ceremony.
Other confirmed performers are John Legend, Metallica, Adele, Bruno Mars and a collective performance from legendary rap group A Tribe Called Quest, up-and-coming hip-hop artist Anderson Paak and rock legend Dave Grohl.
Meanwhile, there has been much speculation as to whether or not Daft Punk will return for a full world tour this year, 2017. The band have two live albums called ‘Alive 1997’ and ‘Alive 2007’ named after their two tours, which seem to happen every ten years – adding to the theory that they’ll continue the tradition and tour this year, exactly ten years after 2007. We’ll just have to wait.
