Potential UK Venues: The Arena Tour That Never Was

For years, this page speculated about where a UK Daft Punk arena tour might land - the O2 Arena, Wembley Arena, Manchester's then-MEN Arena were the recurring fan favourites in forum threads and comment sections across the mid-2000s and early 2010s.

It never happened. Alive 2007 skipped UK arenas entirely, and the duo's only major UK appearance during their touring years was a headline slot at Bestival on the Isle of Wight in September 2007 - a single festival date rather than the arena run fans had mapped out.

With Daft Punk's retirement confirmed in 2021, that arena tour is now a piece of "what could have been" history rather than an open question. We're keeping this page up as a record of just how much speculation it generated.
