Daft Punk Coachella Trailer for ‘Random Access Memories’ Album [VIDEO]; Schedules May 17 Launch Party in Wee Waa
Daft Punk premiered a clip from their upcoming album Random Access Memories at Coachella on Friday, with a follow up for national viewers on SNL.
The French electronic duo commandeered the jumbotrons prior to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs set on Friday evening and surprised festival goers with a clip from the new track Get Lucky, according to Billboard.
Not only did the trailer feature vocals by Pharrell Williams, but it also provided fans with an official list of the collaborators on Random Access Memories, which is due out May 21 via Columbia Records. These guests include Panda Bear, Julian Casablancas, Todd Edwards, DJ Falcon, Chilly Gonzales, Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, and Paul Williams.
However, that was not Daft Punk's only recent announcement. The pair have chosen Wee Waa, a small, out of the way Australian town, as the location for the album's launch, according to Pitchfork.
The entirety of Random Access Memories, Daft Punk's first album in eight years, will be played back for the first time at the Annual Wee Waa Show on May 17. 4,000 tickets were put up for sale for the event on April 12, all of which were quickly snatched up by eager fans.
According to MTV, it is still unknown whether or not the members of Daft Punk will actually be attending the event, but they do point out that there is a high likelihood that the launch will be streamed online due to the fact that Sony recently bought the domain name DaftPunkWeeWaa.com.
