Haven’t gigged since 2007, haven’t released anything since the ‘Tron: Legacy’ soundtrack. They may as well have broken up a long time ago.

but it’s not really a big deal having to spend a couple of months in the studio with the other guy once every 6 years or so is it?

seems odd to basically say ‘I am never getting in the studio with that other lad again’

Maybe there’s been a John Terry / Wayne Bridge scenario?

they’re French so obviously this was my first thought - though in my head it was more Harrison/Clapton than Terry/Bridge

They could have just setup a school a la Krusty the Clown and had a number of regional Daft Punks rock up to local fests wearing the robot helmets, doing a bit of a Dj set and raking in the £/€/$

Thomas apparently suffered very badly with tinnitus and hearing problems so the video might just be his way of saying “yeah, I’m done, but the other one’s still making tunes”.

Reckon being unable to top the pyramid show did for them. Every time people heard about something new it would prompt speculation about touring - going back to the same show would have been a retread they weren’t keen on but by the same measure what do you do beyond it?

Idk. Two perfect albums (not to mention the live ones) and one of the best shows I’ve ever seen in my life anyway. Discovery in particular has soundtracked massive portions of my life and the fam can regularly be found bopping to it. Not a bad (tron) legacy.

So now it has to be a ‘reformed’ Daft Punk as the top Glastonbury headliner rumour going forward?

You could whack any old prick under that helmet, all they have to do is press play and pause on a board. Easy money

Was thinking they should do the MF Doom impostor thing for one last milking of the cash cow

I’m still half thinking that the cash cow might well be milked with a farewell album to coincide with the split
