Daft Punk Tour 2014: Random Access Memories Venue in Conflict, the French Duo Focuses on Other Upcoming Projects
Many fans are waiting for the Daft Punk to officially confirm their upcoming new concert tour, as it has been recently reported that their plan for the tour this year met an unexpected conflict with the supposed concert venue.
The concert group was trying to get a place for their tour in South Dakota at the "Devils Tower" in Wyoming. Unfortunately, the group wasn't able to nail down the venue. Reed Robinson, the superintendent of the "Devils Tower", was approached for the supposed venue request, but he said that the planned event would be disrespectful to the tribes in the area, "This being a night skies park and a natural part and a sacred site to 24 different tribes, that would be considered sacrilegious and gets into that 'inappropriate use'".
For the meantime, the fans of the duo are hearing news about the other projects lined-up for the two. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, for one, might have a solo album in the near future. It is said that he is "currently registering a solo album in the near western suburbs of Paris...no release date has been scheduled", and that the upcoming album "will be full of guests", including Charlotte Gainsbourg. Also, the duo are said to be making a TV documentary, "viewers will get an insight into the artistic world of Daft Punk...and the extraordinary story of the two award-winning French DJ musicians hidden behind robot masks".
The French duo released their fourth album, Random Access Memories, last year, and the album hit the No.1 mark on the Billboard 200 for the first time in the duo's history. The album also won many awards during the Grammys: the Record of the Year, Best Dance/Electronica Album, Best Engineered Album. The duo also won the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance award. This is why the fans are now getting crazy about a promotional concert tour this year.
