Daft Punk to perform at Grammy Awards

Duft Punk

It’s a holiday miracle, folks – Daft Punk have just announced they will be performing live at the 2014 Grammy Awards for the first time since their 2008 Grammy performance with Kanye West.

The executive Grammy telecast producer Ken Ehrlich told Rolling Stone, “We learned that because they had such a good experience with us when they appeared with Kanye in 2008, they were happy to discuss a performance on this year’s show. Conversations took place over a period of a couple of months, and finally they agreed to be a part of this year’s telecast. Details of the performance are still being worked out, but the idea of having the exclusive television performance by this iconic band is something we’re very, very excited about.”

January 26th the hipster constituency will return to the Grammy-fold – the robots are nominated for 5 awards this year including Album of the Year and Best Dance/Electronica Album.
