CoS just received this press release from Arenal Sound regarding The Third Twin, aka, Daft Punk...
Madrid, January 10, 2011–The Third Twin is a French electronic music duo which is getting very popular around the business in the recent months. The reason is simple: They are directly related to the famous Daft Punk. They are in the second edition of the festival which takes place from August 4-7 at the Playa El Arenal from Burriana, Castellón, Spain. The show up of this mysterious group opens the Arenal Sound line up 2011.
The stage name of The Third Twin emerged supposedly with the aim of publishing the issues proposed by Daft Punk to Disney´s movie “Tron”: Legacy. The company initially considered the material too oriented to electronic sounds because of that they refused it. The company ordered a new batch of compositions more orchestral and traditional which finally took part of the soundtrack of the film which was recently released with great success.
Daft Punk could not sign with their original name, music themes nor use any clear reference to the film for legal reasons. That is the reason why the well-known French electronic tandem had to use allegedly that pseudonym.
The result was The Third Twin or TTT, a music project which contain the songs published that is part of that band sound rejected. It was compiled together in an album entitled “Homemade” where you can find those tracks such as “Evil Minds” “Technolers” or “The Time is Over”. The Third Twin has their own profile on MySpace where they have an extensive music material and songs that made “Homemade” and reached a great amount of visits on YouTube. (http://www.thethirdtwin.com)
Arenal Sound becomes one of the many international festivals on this category to bring significant DJ’s highly praised at the time, The Third Twin. (http://www.arenalsound.com). Just wait and see their performance at the festival to discover if the mystery is revealed.
Do you think they will be playing by the porter potties at 4:00 and K or what? Because that would be really shitty if they just said that and were actually playing on the other side of the playa! If Daft Punk is REALLY going to play we're not going to know about it until it's too late. They are Daft Punk. They don't sign contracts. They fucking beam down from the spaceship...

Idc what form their in, as long as their there. I almost just want the lineup so I can come to terms with them being there or not....I sooooooo hope they are.

They're,their, & there.
Secondly, yes you should care what form they are in. Third Twin is everything Daft Punk is not.

If The Third Twin IS Daft Punk and they ARE on the lineup, don't you think they'd play mostly Daft Punk tunes? I think The Third Twin moniker was only used as a loophole to release music recorded while the Tron soundtrack was being recorded. If they showed up and ONLY played The Third Twin stuff, I'm pretty sure there would be a Roo-riot.
Do you think an announcement of Daft Punk playing Coachella would hurt or help the chances of them playing 'roo? There seems to be as much, if not more, speculation about Daft Punk @ Coachella 2011.
For Arenal Sound's sake, I hope you're wrong. The press release sent to CoS, if real, says otherwise... I imagine that could lead to a lawsuit from both Daft Punk as well as those that purchased tickets based on the assumption that Daft Punk would be there in the form of TTT.

No where in the "press release", which COS even says it can't verify, does it say it is Daft Punk.

I don't think it would affect it either way. Coachella grabbed Jay-Z as a headliner last year, and Bonnaroo got him as their Late Night. I could see the exact same scenario this year. Unless of course Coachella was an exclusivity deal. Though that seems less likely given DP has played Coach before, so it's less of a "get" one might think.

Update: eFestivals can confirm that reports from Spain suggesting Daft Punk, may be playing a festival in Spain under the name The Third Twin are untrue.
According to Spanish music news site Hypersonica, (here) the band were linked to Spain's Arenal Sound music festival, however Daft Punk's agent has confirmed to eFestivals that the band are not Daft Punk.

well, i guess they both might be French

that reads like a poorly written nigerian scam email.
plus, a gmail address for booking? how many A level artists have a booking request listed on the front page of their site? and it looks like the site fell off Myspace about 8 year ago.
im calling nans.

"It has been brought to the attention of Daft Punk's management that the promoters for the Arenal Sound Festival in Spain have recently issued a press release in which they claim that a band called The Third Twin is 'directly connected' to Daft Punk," reads the statement. "This is completely untrue. Recent press reports are based on rumors instead of facts. Daft Punk is in no way associated with The Third Twin and the promoters for the Arenal Sound Festival are promoting the show under false pretenses."

Are you blaming CoS for some festival in Spain making untrue statements about Daft Punk?
Also, I wish we didn't have a thread on the front page that said DAFT PUNK IS PLAYING LATE NIGHT! because it makes me sad everytime I get on and realize that's it's not true...yet.

I find it to be in bad taste to just repost a random email as a news story. Alas, this is the problem with internet sites and lacking in verification of sources.

Press release and random emails aren't the same thing, yo.

Oh, upon review it was press release. Here is where I take a huge bite of crow on trying to call out COS, and apologize for my error.
Anyone else think Daft Punk not playing Coachella might help their chances of being at Bonnaroo? If the reason is they are not ready to perform in April, then I think they could be ready by June.
No. It makes it less likely. The rumor was that they would be ready for a tour late summer at the earliest. If they were going to bust asses to be ready early, they would damn sure be ready early enough for coachella.

At least with the reasoning provided by Billboard, it doesn't seem like they're not there because they're not touring, but because they just wouldn't be ready for live shows.
That means they're completely open to being booked for festivals, as long as they feel they can be "prepared" by the date. If the tour is supposed to start in Late Summer, then I think they might be ready by Bonnaroo.
