The robots return

Daft Punk will be performing at this year's Grammys.

They'll play at the award ceremony with The Weeknd, whom they collaborated with on 'Starboy' and 'I Feel It Coming'.

Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo's last performance came at the Grammys in 2014 where they played 2013 track 'Get Lucky' with Pharrell, Stevie Wonder and Nile Rodgers.

Daft Punk aren't nominated for any awards this year and The Weeknd is only nominated for his work on Beyonce's 'Lemonade'.

The Recording Academy's announcement will only further strengthen the rumours that Daft Punk are set to tour in 2017.

The 59th Grammy Awards will be airing live on CBS from 8pm EST on February 12.
