\n\tDaft Punk\u2019s Thomas Bangalter will release a new album, Mirage \u2013 Ballet For 16 Dancers,<\/em> on June 5.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe project was created for Mirage, a touring ballet based in Geneva, Switzerland\u2019s Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre\u00a0de Gen\u00e8ve that was created by choreographer Damien Jalet\u00a0and contemporary artist\u00a0K\u014dhei Nawa. Bangalter\u2019s soundtrack is a piece of experimental electronic music commissioned by the Ballet of the Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Gen\u00e8ve, with the first release from the project, \u201cMirage: part.

\n\tThe album will come out the same week as a public art piece in Paris that Bangalter also collaborated on, releasing in the same week as a major public artwork bearing his touch is unveiled in Paris. Multi-disciplinary artist\u00a0JR\u00a0worked with Bangalter to create the sound for his forthcoming art installation:\u00a0La Caverne du Pont Neuf. For three weeks, this project will turn Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, into a cavern. On view from June 6-28, the artwork pays homage to site-specific artists Christo and Jean Claude\u2019s The Pont Neuf Wrapped<\/a>, a major public art installation that celebrates its 40-year anniversary in 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tCloser to home in the DJ space, Bangalter played a rare public show<\/a> in late February as part of a b2b with Fred again.., with this show functioning as the final performance of Fred\u2019s USB002 tour. The performance followed an October 2025 b2b2b2b with Fred again.., Erol Alkan and Busy P at Paris\u2019 Centre Pompidou, a show that was Bangalter\u2019s first public performance in 16 years. <\/p>\n
