This one should be taken with a gigantic pinch of salt until some official confirmation arrives, but a few rumored Daft Punk concert dates have been leaked online. The source for these shows is an Australian website named Undercover, which says: “A source close to the band has leaked Daft Punk’s proposed tour dates for 2010, including dates in Melbourne and Sydney.”

Is Daft Punk really big enough to sell out Yankee Stadium? They did play at Keyspan Park in Coney Island on their last visit to the city in 2007—a show they comfortably sold out. But playing Yankee Stadium is a far larger proposition. The other shows are all is arena-sized venues, including a date in Daft Punk’s native Paris. Currently, they are thought to be working on the soundtrack to Tron Legacy.

Rumored Daft Punk 2010 shows:

07.30 Paris: Le Zénith,

08.01 Amsterdam: Heineken Music Hall

08.03 Munich: Allianz Arena

08.05 Dublin: O2

08.07 Nice: Parc De Sports

08.15 New York: Yankee Stadium

08.22 Sydney: Football Stadium

08.28 Melbourne: Olympic Park Stadium

09.03 London: Wembley Arena
