This is the big one people… We’ve literally been hanging on the line for years now with the tantalising possibility of those lovable French robots Daft Punk bringing their spectacular live show to Australia. The amount of mystique that has grown around the group is really quite incredible: we’ve salivated over the YouTubes, torn our hair out in frustration over those fruitless rumours and debated it endlessly on the forums. Now we can confirm the recent talk is true! Here are the facts:

Brought to you by Michael Coppel and Modular and presented by www.inthemix.com.au, the Never Ever Land tour will see the pyramid spectacular landing in Australia for four massive shows this December, with a world-class roster of supports to back up the robot rockers. In addition to the presence of Daft Punk, we’ll also be enjoying shows from a number of other acts from the Modular stable. Indie-electro rockers The Presets will be playing one of their last shows before they unleash their second album on the world, rising star Muscles will be clocking in while the ubiquitous Bang Gang DJ posse will be warming the crowds up.

As if that wasn’t enough, we’ll have another another international guest in the form of fellow French dance music duo SebastiAn & Kavinsky flying in for the tour. One of the current stable of French producers on the Ed Banger label that are dominating dancefloors around the world, they come from a musical heritage that is inextricably linked to massive legacy left by Daft Punk, so their presence on the bill is appropriate indeed. How’s that for a massive lineup?

As per usual we’ll be bringing you all the tasty goodies, as our sister site inthemix will be offering exclusive presales to this massive event. Stay tuned for another announcement tomorrow! And be prepared to stare in slack-jawed amazement when Daft Punk’s mystical pyramid lights up in Australia this December.
