Daft Punk ProfileDaft Punk probably won’t reunite to release new music or tour together anytime soon, but fans can still enjoy them in a new way thanks to the group’s new partnership with LEGO.
According to a press release, the collaboration aims to “inspire and remix fandoms” and span “product, content and brand experiences.”
The partnership was unveiled with a short film starring the minifigures of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. More news will arrive in 2027, but right now, we know that fans will get to enjoy a LEGO set that can be built and enjoyed across generations.
The Daft Punk x LEGO collection features a design based on the group’s famous pyramid stage from their 2007 ALIVE tour – check out an artist impression below.

The origins of Daft Punk’s partnership with LEGO can be traced back to the COVID-19 pandemic, when a Luxembourgish father-and-son presented a passion project to the LEGO Ideas community.
In 2020, the pair won the Grand Prize of the LEGO Ideas Music to Our Ears challenge. They later reached the 10,000-supporter threshold on the LEGO Ideas platform, advancing the idea to the next stage and making it an official LEGO set.
“What makes this partnership so special is the enduring appeal both brands share,” said Julia Goldin, Chief Product & Marketing Officer at the LEGO Group. “Like the LEGO brand, Daft Punk inspires generations through creativity, innovation and a deep connection with fans.
“We’re excited to build on these foundations to reimagine the Daft Punk legacy in a fresh and unexpected way, creating something unique that resonates with fans across all ages. This is just the beginning of a bigger journey – a creative collab made for fans ready to lose themselves to play.”
Patrick Harboun, owner of the LEGO Ideas Daft Punk Concert submission, added, “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.”
Cédric Hervet, Creative Director for DAFT PUNK™, concluded, “The pyramid stage is one of the most recognisable expressions of Daft Punk’s visual world, so it feels fitting that this fan-created design will be centre stage of this partnership. Fans have always played an important part in Daft Punk’s story, and we are excited to see that creativity reflected through the LEGO universe.”
Daft Punk split in 2021 after 28 years of great tunes and pioneering electronic music.
Bangalter discussed the duo’s 2021 breakup in 2023, saying that it “felt good”.
“The question I ask myself more is why we did end it rather than how it could last for so long,” he said. “It’s a lot like a story or mini saga – sometimes there’s a TV show that has a special place in people’s hearts, and it keeps that place, and it runs for one, two, three, four, five, sometimes ten seasons.”
He continued, “There’s a moment where it ends, and I think it’s actually interesting to have this opportunity to start, have the middle, and end to it.” The French DJ added that he was “relieved and happy to look back and say: ‘Ok, we didn’t mess it up too much’.”
