Grammys 2017: Watch Daft Punk Perform With the Weeknd

At tonight’s Grammy Awards, Daft Punk performed “I Feel It Coming” and a tiny bit of “Starboy” with the Weeknd—their collaborative tracks from 2016’s Starboy. Paris Jackson introduced the performance (and encouraged the audience to join pipeline protests). Then, Daft Punk emerged in robes, performing with Abel Tesfaye on a set that looks like Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. There were tons of lights and plenty of fog. Watch it happen below.

This marks Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo’s first live performance since their appearance at the 2014 Grammys; the duo chose not to tour behind their last album, 2013’s Grammy-dominating Random Access Memories. Starboy was released after this year’s Grammy deadline, so the Weeknd is only nominated as a contributor to Beyoncé’s Lemonade. Daft Punk are not up for any awards.
