Alive 2006/2007 was a concert tour by French electronic music duo Daft Punk, their first tour as a group since 1997. While the 2006 concerts were not given a formal billing, the 2007 performances were advertised as "Alive 2007". The 2006 performances and 2007 tour as a whole was later retroactively named "Alive 2006/2007".
The tour was met with praise and critical acclaim. The Times described Daft Punk's set as a "memorable sensory spectacle, both dazzling and deafening".
History
The tour began with a sole United States performance at the Coachella Festival in Indio, California in May 2006. Several festival appearances in Europe followed throughout the summer. Two consecutive performances also took place at the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan, held in the cities of Osaka and Chiba City respectively. Daft Punk's final performance of the year occurred in the autumn, when they visited South America and played their second U.S. performance of the trek at the Bang! Music Festival in Miami, Florida.
In June 2007, the duo resumed touring, beginning with an appearance at the RockNess festival in the U.K.. After further shows in Europe and festival performances, the act returned to North America for a full-fledged eight date tour. This reached many markets for the first time on the trek and included a headlining slot at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago. A second leg of shows in October followed, consisting of an appearance at the Vegoose festival in Las Vegas, Nevada and three shows in Mexico.
In December 2007, the duo returned to Japan to play a trio of dates. This was followed by a series of special shows in Australia, dubbed Never Ever Land. The dates featured regular tour stalwarts SebastiAn and Kavinsky and were ultimately the fastest selling Daft Punk-related events to date. The tour eventually culminated in Sydney at the Showground Main Arena.
