Had you heard the rumour currently circulating online that Daft Punk would play a surprise show in Shanghai, China, this weekend? If you bought the story and were trying to decide whether to book yourself a last minute flight – it’s only, what, 12 hours away? – take note…

A Facebook page popped up recently, hyping the duo’s impending visit to China as a secret. “…the french mythical electronic band Daft Punk is coming in Shanghai for one very special night on friday 13th February with a devious concept called dafthidden 09 tour,” read the grammatically challenged post.

Harmless fun, right? Wrong, the page also listed a phone number and email address, and asked for keen beans to buy a ticket to the show. They’d then receive an SMS on the day of the event with the location of the secret gig. Except there is no gig… and the page now says tickets have sold out. It’s unknown whether any money was made off the scam/trick, we can only hope not!
