You heard it right! The new Daft Punk figures are set to electrify Madame Tussauds New York in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Random Access Memories.
French electronic music duo Daft Punk will “Get Lucky” with new figures at Madame Tussauds New York, the world’s famous wax museum. The figures will live behind the DJ booth in the glitzy Glow party area. The room was inspired by New York’s famous party scene.
They will be there with stars like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Matthew McConaughey, and Rihanna.
Madame Tussauds gives fans another chance to meet famous people and shows that even the most famous people in the world are “Human After All.”
A big party at Brooklyn club Avant Gardner revealed Daft Punk figures at Madame Tussauds New York
Madame Tussauds teamed up with the French DJ group Maison Disco to take over the popular Brooklyn club Avant Gardner.
The immersive event called guests to a night of live electronic music with an enhanced audiovisual experience. The show was the chance to reveal Daft Punk’s dual-figure.
In honor of their shared French roots, both Madame Tussauds and Maison Disco played timeless French House music from the 1990s and played a retrospective of the DJ duo’s career.
If you’re going to visit the Madame Tussauds Museum, you’ll notice the two figures are styled in custom-tailored replicas of Saint Laurent’s black sequined Le Smoking tuxedo suits designed by Hedi Slimane for Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories project.
Their last album came out 10 years ago this year. Each DJs wear matching replica gloves and gold and silver pyramid pendant chains. This shows the attention to detail that went into making the figures “Alive“.
As Daft Punk and Madame Tussauds both share French origins, this collaboration is a testament to the innovation and artistic brilliance of those that came before us and the ability of music and art to transcend global boundaries. We’re honored to welcome fans from ‘Around the World’ to the attraction to see their idols ‘One More Time’ and celebrate the legacy of Daft Punk and French House music. – Ben Shapiro, Marketing Executive at Madame Tussauds New York
A little bit of story: Daft Punk and their 30 years of career
Daft Punk, whose real names are Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, became famous in the 1990s and 2000s with hits like “One More Time,” “Around the World,” “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” and “Technologic.”
After their album Human After All came out in 2005, the group took a long break.
They came back with their huge record Random Access Memories in 2013. The song “Get Lucky,” which featured fellow GRAMMY winner Pharrell Williams, was a worldwide #1 hit.
Daft Punk went on to win “Album of the Year,” “Record of the Year,” “Best Dance/Electronica Album,” “Best Pop/Duo Performance,” and “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.”
After this huge success, the two global stars have kept a low profile and revealed that they will be retiring as a duo in 2021.
They’ve been asked to play at the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony too.
This will be the end of a 30-year run that gave the world some of the most important dance songs of all time.
