Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter announces new album, ‘Mirage – Ballet for 16 Dancers’

Thomas Bangalter, otherwise known as one half of the now-defunct Daft Punk, has announced a new album called Mirage – Ballet for 16 Dancers.

The record, due out June 5, collects the music Bangalter composed for the ballet Mirage, which premiered in 2025. A press release describes it as “a vast and atmospheric piece of electronic minimalism.”

A track from the album called “Mirage: part. II” will be released on Friday.

Daft Punk, which featured Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo alongside Bangalter, broke up in 2021.
