There have been recent rumors going around about Daft Punk releasing songs through the name “The Third Twin,” but according to NME Magazine and Daft Punk’s management, this is not true. However, according to a press release from the Spanish festival Arenal Sound Festival, it was implied that The Third Twin were in fact Daft Punk.
Daft Punk’s management released this statement:
“It has been brought to the attention of Daft Punk’s management that the promoters for the Arenal Sound Festival in Spain have recently issued a press release in which they claim that a band called The Third Twin is ‘directly connected’ to Daft Punk.”This is completely untrue. Recent press reports are based on rumours instead of facts. Daft Punk is in no way associated with The Third Twin and the promoters for the Arenal Sound Festival are promoting the show under false pretences.”
Daft Punk’s last album ‘Tron: Legacy‘, which was the soundtrack for the film of the same name, was released in December 2010. Regardless of the statement from Daft Punk’s management, The Third Twin are still scheduled to play Arenal Sound Festival, which takes place from August 4-7.
