Far be it for inthemix to delve too deep into hyperbole and online gossip (granted, we do love a good piece of questionable news juice), but some things are just too good to pass up. Case in point, when some local tour dates announcing the local return of French electro titans Daft Punk emerged online, we couldn’t help but run some news.

As spotted on the Last.fm profile page for the robotic duo, two Australian dates have emerged, speculating that Daft Punk’s beloved pyramid is due to touch down in both Sydney and Melbourne next winter – that’s August 22nd and August 28th respectively.

Whilst it’s already come to light that Daft Punk would once again hit the road next year in support of their Tron Legacy film score, supporting the leaked dates, we’re going to keep from going overboard with excitement incase this is just a case of internet duping. Indeed, that the rumoured Sydney show falls on a Sunday next year lends credibility to the theory that this is a cruel hoax. But still, that won’t stop us dreaming of robots tonight…

Daft Punk Rumoured 2010 Tour Dates:

Aug 22nd – Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney
Aug 28th – Olympic Park, Melbourne

I don't think they are. I'm going to add Brisbane and Perth dates right now. No Adelaide. Freaks.

I call bullshit. The events were added by some guy called Kevin119 from Ireland. He claims "It being announced official within 1 month. I got it from a friend who's working at livenation " (taken from the event at Wembley Arena on last.fm). This guy seems

This is as bad as the newspapers that reported Bowie and Massive Attack for BDO after someone on Last.fm posted a 'leaked' line-up.

All you ITM bashers should be ashamed of yourselves. The article CLEARLY states that this info is found on the interweb and is no way credible and factual. ITM just wants to keep you in the loop you idiots!! Plus, when the French robots DO announce the

Jesus, hydee, take a chill pill. What's the difference between ITM posting about a rumour and you declaring they're never coming back? Just a bit of fun. AND. If it turns out to be true, you read it here first.
