Daft Punk Announce Lego Collaboration

The defunct French electro duo are entering the brick world.

Daft Punk Announce Lego Collaboration

LEGO and Daft Punk have announced a new collaboration that will bring the French electronic duo’s iconic visual world into the brick-building universe, beginning with a fan-designed set inspired by their landmark 2007 Alive tour.

The project recreates the pyramid-shaped stage that became synonymous with the duo’s live performances. Designed by a father-and-son team from Belgium, the concept was originally submitted to LEGO Ideas, the company’s platform for fan-created designs. It won a music-themed competition in 2020 before attracting 10,000 supporters.


The model will now advance to the next stage of LEGO’s development process. The announcement does not confirm a retail release date, price or final product specifications.

Daft Punk creative director Cédric Hervet said the stage design was a natural fit for the partnership, noting its importance to the group’s visual identity and the role fans have played in its history.

The collaboration also includes a 48-second animated film featuring LEGO Minifigure versions of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, complete with their signature helmets. In the short, the duo follow a glowing red brick through a mysterious desert landscape before making their way to the stage, with typical Daft Punk basslines and synths featured throughout.

LEGO says the partnership will extend beyond the initial project, with additional events and content planned across music, culture and creative spaces. The duo previously appeared as LEGO characters in Piece by Piece, Pharrell Williams’ 2024 animated documentary, which featured artists and collaborators reimagined in brick-built form.

The Grammy for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, Will Go to the Best Storyteller

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 16, “Rolling Stone” is breaking down 11 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.

For someone to claim the Grammy for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, they need to have scored commercial hits or a big album. They also need to wow voters with the story behind the making of an album, according to Cecilia Winter, Editorial Lead of Global Hits at Spotify. “Often the people who win are people who have pulled back the curtain a little bit on their working relationship with the artists that they produced in the eligibility period,” she tells Rolling Stone. “The folks who close themselves off a little bit more maybe don’t always have the same degree of success.”

Brad Paisley Calls William Shatner’s New Spoken-Word Album an ‘Amazing Lesson’

Brad Paisley has been palling around with William Shatner for more than two decades. The Star Trek actor made a memorable cameo in Paisley’s 2003 video for “Celebrity,” playing an acerbic Simon Cowell-like reality-show judge, and the pair have continued to collaborate in music videos. Most recently, they teamed up in the studio: Paisley co-produced Shatner’s new spoken-word album, Love & Other Mysteries. It’s a callback to Shatner’s 1968 LP The Transformed Man, and its cover art even nods to that beloved cult classic.

But, Paisley stresses, it’s not a joke. “It’s not gimmicky at all. He means everything he’s saying,” the country music singer-guitarist tells Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast. “Bill is so willing to be all things when it comes to being interesting. He’ doing a heavy-metal thing right now. He’s happy to attempt anything, and it’s an amazing lesson for all of us, at 95.”
