Daft Punk "Homework" Tour Tee 1997

Daft Punk's Homework (1997) and the accompanying Alive 1997 tour created the template for electronic music's relationship with live performance. Virgin Records produced promotional merchandise for the tour that featured the duo in their robot helmets for the first time in a public performance context. Daft Punk tees from 1997-98 are currently available for $80–$200. The duo's retirement in 2021 transformed their entire catalog and merchandise into retrospective artifacts. The Alive 1997 and Alive 2007 tour tees will follow the same trajectory as early rave culture merchandise. Upside potential: $400–$1,500.
