Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Even NME got snookered by this one: A rumored Daft Punk world tour with a date at Yankee Stadium. Wait, has Yankee Stadium ever held a concert? Hmmmm. The Internet was abuzz this morning with rumors of a massive tour by the French House twosome but it's all bunk, says the band's publicist.
There are no tour dates currently planned for Daft Punk. The recent rumors of a Daft Punk tour are false. We would like to ensure that no fans are taken advantage of by fictitious rumors of upcoming shows.
Actually, it probably wouldn't have mattered for Phoenix anyway. As Nicki Escudero pointed out earlier this morning, Phoenix, the fifth largest city in the U.S. can't seem to get much tour love.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way.

Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
