Daft Punk Tour 2014 Cancelled For Now! Robots’ Tour Plans In Devils Tower ‘Would Be Considered Sacrilegious’ If It Pushes Through

Daft Punk Tour 2014: ‘Random Access Memories’ group reported to be scouting a place for a tour in South Dakota namely the Devils Tower in Wyoming but was rejected of the proposal because the place was said to be disrespectful for the tribes in the area if a big event such as this would push through.

After the success in the recent Grammys, Daft Punk is expected to rule the world with their hip and head bopping sound. Fans want to hear more of the electronic duo

Reed Robinson, superintendent for Devils Tower National Monument was said to be approached by an agency representing the electronic duo for a request of a show in the venue but was respectfully denied by tribes in the area.

“This being a night skies park and a natural park and a sacred site to 24 different tribes, that would be considered sacrilegious and gets into that ‘inappropriate use’,” Robinson said. “And that meant maybe we would have to close portions of the main trail to facilitate this kind of stuff.”

Daft Punk together with Pharell Williams, Nile Rodgers and the one and only Stevie Wonder rocked the Grammys and stole the show after their very heartfelt and hair raising performance of their hit song 'Get Lucky'.

The performance garnered a lot of positive response and even seen in a video where all artists including Jay Z, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Steve Tyler danced to the groovy tune of the hit song.

The duo's latest album Random Access Memories became a huge hit in the last year and grabbed tons of awards during the Grammys including Best Dance/Electronica Album, Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical), Record of the Year and the duo and Pharell got the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for the hit song.

In recent years, the electronic group has been nominated numerous times for Grammys, also winning the Best Dance Recording for another hit song "Harder Better Faster Stronger" and Best Electronic/Dance Album for the record "Alive 2007", in the 2009 Grammys.

Reporters and critics talked about how the success of the Random Access Memories Album has come to how it is.

"Taking eight years to make an album tends to mean that everyone forgets about you. With Daft Punk it has simply fuelled speculation," wrote Will Hodgkinson in British newspaper The Times of the album.

"Random Access Memories is a blend of disco, robotic vocals, soft rock and smooth easy listening that really shouldn't work but does - brilliantly," he continued.

And British magazine NME hailed it as an "ambitious masterpiece you can't imagine being made by anyone other than Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo."
