Daft Punk has been slated to perform at the upcoming Grammy Awards. According to Rolling Stone, the ceremony will mark the French electronic duo's first televised performance since their 2008 Grammy show, when they played alongside Kanye West.
The electro-bots have been nominated for four awards: Album of the Year and Best Dance/Electronica Album for Random Access Memories and Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group performance for the hit of the summer "Get Lucky."
"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," Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich told Rolling Stone. "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.
According to the article, Ehrlich said the show plans to feature "a collaborative and celebratory stage performance that honors their multi-nominated music." Despite being one of the most celebrated albums of the year, the duo hasn't toured in support of it.
The Grammy Awards ceremony will air live January 26 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS. Check out the video for their smash hit "Get Lucky" here, and leave us your comments below!
