The ‘will they or won’t they’ status of the tour plans of Daft Punk have gotten beyond a joke over the past 18 months, but we’ve finally been thrown a bone. They’ll be playing the Sidney Meyer Music Bowl in Melbourne on December 22… Apparently!

The murmurs were building last week, but on Saturday dance music fans around the country went into a collective state of shock when it was claimed by Grant Smillie on his Overdrive radio program that the French house pioneers would be playing a Melbourne stadium show, only a few days before Christmas. We’ve yet to receive any official confirmation, neither any news on national tour dates, but it’s an exciting prospect to say the least (not to mention great fodder for internet forums).

Stay tuned for more details as they come to hand…

to everyone freaking out that they're ONLY playing a melbourne show - just sit tight! grant's radio show is broadcast in melbourne only, so it's only natural he'd mention that show and not the entire tour... ;)

I think we need to start a on-line campaign to let them know we NEED them to come down under. INTHEMIX people can change the world for the better! And see Daft Punk at the same time.

Pity it's at the music bowl. A sucky venue if ever there was one. I'd sooner see them interstate than put up with a bowl arrangement *groan*
