DAFT PUNK

4 MIN READ•5/16/2026
To a modern Daft Punk fan, just the thought of a Daft Punk tour can evoke several strong emotions ranging from happy memories, bitter regret, or melancholy aspirations of one day seeing them live. This is the case because Daft Punk’s latest tour ended in December of 2007, long before many of us (including myself) even became fans and long enough ago that many youngsters who did see them live are now full blown adults, not to mention the people who've been fans since the 90's. I have been conducting a survey over the past few months that has reached nearly 200 entries and so far it has found that the average age of an active Daft Punk fan is about 20-21 years old. Many of us were too young to see them live or hadn’t become fans yet. Some of those surveyed were as young as 13 years old which means they would have been babies at the time of Daft Punk’s latest tour. If you did get to see Daft Punk live, am I making you feel old yet? Are you feeling nostalgic of the good old days and of getting to see arguably the most exciting live electronic act of all time? Either way, Daft Punk fans clamor over the thought of Daft Punk touring...past and present. So today I am going to dive deep into Daft Punk’s tour history starting in 1995 and eventually I will discuss my thoughts on what the future may hold.

1995 Tour

According to Daft Punk’s 1997 press release for their album Homework, they toured in 1995 throughout France, Belgium, and the UK totalling around 40 gigs. No title was given to this tour but some fans have retroactively named it the “Around the World Tour” even though Around the World was not released until 1997. Regardless, little is known about this tour other than about 16 of the gigs which are listed on DaftBootlegs, a website dedicated to archiving Daft Punk media from the 90's. DaftBootlegs also compiled a majority of the photos from this tour and other shows from the 90's. As far as video footage goes, there is very little available on the internet. Below are two videos from 1995.
