Watch Daft Punk Perform at a Random 2007 Las Vegas Halloween Festival in Never-Before-Seen Footage
Thanks to some sleuthing Daft Punk super-fans, never-before-seen footage of the fabled duo performing at a random Halloween festival in 2007 has hit the web. Since the legendary dance music tandem haven’t performed a headline tour since that year, any new video should be treated as a small win for a fanbase decidedly starved of Daft Punk content. The unearthed footage from the pair’s “Alive” tour was filmed at the 2007 edition of Vegoose, a short-lived Las Vegas festival that was active from 2005 to 2008. The fest’s organizers, Superfly and A.C. Productions, who also produce Bonnaroo, went on to axe the brand and instead focus their efforts on the newly minted Outside Lands. Joining Daft Punk on the 2007 Vegoose lineup were Rage Against the Machine, ...
