New coup de brilliance of the most famous electro duo in the world: exactly one year after the announcement of their separation, the French musicians of Daft Punk signed their return on Tuesday… on social networks.
It all started in the afternoon in California with an enigmatic post on Instagram and Twitter, before Daft Punk rebroadcast on the Twitch platform a live concert from December 1997 in Los Angeles, where we see the duo formed in 1993 by Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo without helmet.
It's not the first time that this has happened (notably with a famous performance in 1995 at the Trans musicales de Rennes) but it remains rare, especially for the American public.
According to numbers shared on Twitter by fans, the concert on Twitch began streaming at "2:22 p.m. Pacific Time" or 10:22 p.m. GMT on 02/22/2022, triggering a cascade of messages and rumors. on a possible reformation of the helmeted duo, officially separated on February 22, 2021. Around 3:15 p.m., around 100,000 people were following the live stream… Which may not be available afterwards, according to Pitchfork.
As of Tuesday night, the video was not available on demand on Twitch.

Well, I hope @edbangerrecords doesn't mind me sharing a short snippet of what you missed if you slept in that night, with the reaction of the LA crowd at the Mayan Theater for that 1997 Daft Punk show. You have to make a petition to put it on demand :) pic.twitter.com/ZQVVElGWus

“Homework” remixed
To mark this separation a year ago to the day, and this coup Tuesday on social networks, the pioneers of the French Touch also released a luxury box for the 25th anniversary of their first album "Homework", in 1997. The disc includes their first hit “Around the world”, which gave them international notoriety.
On February 22, 2021, it was a shock wave on the music planet: by an enigmatic video posted on social networks, soberly titled “Epilogue”, Daft Punk had announced its separation.
The video of a little more than 8 minutes showed the two members, under their traditional masks of robots, advancing in a desert.
After a few evocative signs of renunciation, one ended up triggering the self-destruction system of the other, which was pulverized.
The duo was since "Homework" the greatest ambassador of French electro.
An unbreakable status solidified with three other opuses with global success each time, "Discovery" (2001), "Human After All" (2005), "Random Access Memories" (2013) with the unmissable hit "Get Lucky", as well as outstanding stage performances.
