Daft Punk tease fans with mysterious coordinates on Spotify

The announcement is likely to relate to the 10th anniversary of 'Random Access Memories'

Daft Punk have updated their Spotify visualisers with some coordinates, leading fans to believe an announcement is around the corner. 

The French duo attached the mysterious numbers to the graphics that accompany 'Random Access Memories' — which celebrates its 10th anniversary next week. Eight of the 2013 album's 15 tracks now feature a visual that lists coordinates and "May 11th, 10 AM". 

So far the cities indicated for this Thursday's unknown events are London, Sydney, Tokyo, Paris, Mexico City, Santa Monica, Buenos Aires, São Paulo and New York.

Fans on Reddit have collated all of the coordinates shared on Spotify so far and speculation about what they could mean has naturally began. Some believe the cryptic clues could be teasing pop-up stores while others are hoping for a full blown reunion tour.

Whatever the announcement turns out to be, it's likely that it will relate to the expanded 10th anniversary edition of 'Random Access Memories', out this Friday.

Daft Punk's story has been traced in a new book by Disco Pogo. The magazine's predecessor Jockey Slut published Daft Punk’s first ever interview back in 1994, their first ever magazine cover and featured them on the line-ups of many of their Bugged Out nights over the years.

The 250 page hardback book, titled ‘Daft Punk – We Were The Robots’, covers the duo's earliest days right up to their unexpected split in February 2021. The book will ship in Spring and is available to order here.
