The pyramid is back. A Daft Punk LEGO set recreating the robots’ glowing stage from the Alive 2007 tour is officially in development, kicking off a wider partnership between the LEGO Group and Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo that was announced on 22 October.
The news was teased at the end of the duo’s WDPK Radio livestream before LEGO confirmed it: the first product will be the fan-designed “Daft Punk Concert” model from the LEGO Ideas platform.
From lockdown project to Daft Punk LEGO set
The build comes from Luxembourg-based fan Patrick Harboun and his son, who started piecing together their brick version of the pyramid during lockdown. It took the grand prize in LEGO Ideas’ “Music to Our Ears” challenge in 2020 but wasn’t picked for production back then. The pair then put it on LEGO Ideas, where it passed the 10,000-supporter mark needed for an official review, and it has now been greenlit.
Harboun’s original submission runs to roughly 2,000 pieces, with a motorised, rotating box of transparent bricks inside the pyramid, overhead lighting and both robots stationed at their console. Don’t get too attached to those details just yet, though: LEGO says the images show the fan model, not the final product, and the retail version may differ.
“The pyramid stage is one of the most recognisable expressions of Daft Punk’s visual world,” said Daft Punk creative director Cédric Hervet, adding that it felt right for a fan-created design to sit at the centre of the partnership.
A stage that changed live electronic music
The real pyramid first appeared on 29 April 2006 in Coachella’s Sahara Tent, a space built for around 10,000 people that reportedly drew about 40,000. It was designed by Martin Phillips of LA production company Bionic League and took cues from the “Technologic” video he had also worked on. The rig then went on the road for the Alive tour.
What we know, and what we don’t
To launch the partnership, LEGO and the duo released a short film in which the robots appear as helmeted minifigures following a holographic red brick across a desert landscape, with “Voyager” and “Human After All” on the soundtrack. The collaboration will also include new content and events.
Price, set number, piece count, minifigure lineup and release date haven’t been announced yet. The announcement ends with a promise of “more to come in 2027”. It’s the duo’s first physical LEGO set, following their digital debut as minifigures in LEGO Fortnite in 2025.
