The Daily Swarm (via MM) is reporting that Daft Punk is hinting at a huge tour in 2011 following the release of the TRON soundtrack. It’s not yet known whether this means they will be releasing new music or if they will actually be touring off the TRON soundtrack (or hopefully both), but definitely something to get excited about.

…with the November release of “Tron Soundtrack” and are plotting a series of public appearances in the weeks leading up the the film’s release. The duo is also actively designing and routing a 2011/2012 tour that will headline stadiums internationally.

But Daft Punk are not planning a full scale tour until 2011, and according to Daily Swarm sources, the new production isn’t likely to be ready until late next summer at the earliest. The group debuted its iconic pyramid stage and light show at the 2006 Coachella music festival and toured festivals and amphitheaters on and off for the next 18 months, ending with a 5-date trek through Japan and Australia in Dec. 2007.

It remains unclear whether or not Daft Punk will release further new music prior to the tour, and if the “Tron” theme will carry over into the tour’s production.
