Dance and brick fans are about top Get Lucky, as French robots Daft Punk return One More Time.
The retired DJs have made a comeback with a little help from LEGO who announced a new partnership, blending worlds of music, culture and creative experimentation.
The collaboration launched with a new hero film starring LEGO minifigure versions of the Gallic duo as they elaborate on a sci-fi adventure following a holographic red brick.
They also revealed a fan-designed LEGO Ideas Daft Punk Concert project, inspired by the famous pyramid stage from the legendary ALIVE 2007 tour, which will be developed into an official LEGO set.
LEGO fans have created a film
Beyond a product collaboration, the partnership will see the duo brought to life in new ways across the LEGO brand, through a mashup of surprising events and content that crosses music, culture and creative spaces.
To introduce the partnership, the two brands have unveiled a film in which the duo’s minifigures follow a holographic red brick through what starts as a dark, mysterious landscape.
As the robots arrive and step inside the “gates-of-play”, the holographic architecture starts to unfold and envelop them beat by beat, brick by brick, until we finally see the pair manning a LEGO brick-built console.
The result is a film soundtracked by Voyager, a bassline tribute from Daft Punk’s 2001 Discovery album, and Human After All, the title track from their 2005 album – carrying them on their journey to become LEGO Builders After All.

The Daft Punk concept came from the LEGO Ideas community, where a Luxembourgish father-and-son passion project captured the attention of thousands of fellow Daft Punk and LEGO fans and will now advance into the next stage to officially become a LEGO set that fans around the world can build.
Patrick Harboun, owner of the LEGO Ideas Daft Punk Concert submission said: “This all started as a creative escape during lockdown between my son and I because of our shared love of Daft Punk and LEGO building.
“We never dared imagine it would take off in this way. Watching our passion project become part of an official collaboration is an incredible experience, and it’s a reminder of what makes the LEGO Ideas community so special. That a simple idea, shared by fans, really can become something much bigger.”
The duo’s Alive tour is being turned into a real toy set
Now we just need the real Daft Punk to get their helmets back on having announced their retirement in 2021.
