Daft Punk have announced the release of their follow-up to the million-selling smashing No.1 hit 'Get Lucky'. The French dance duo will release 'Lose Yourself To Dance' tomorrow (Tuesday 13 August).

Like 'Get Lucky', 'Lose Yourself To Dance' is also a collaboration with Nile Rodgers and Pharrell and is a highlight of their latest LP, Random Access Memories.

The news of the release comes from Columbia Records releasing the following advert with the single's artwork online:

The link previously took users to a dropbox with a .wav file of the radio edit of the track. The download has since been removed. 

There are currently no details about b-sides and other tracks on the release, but fans are expecting a video for the track imminently.

Fans are also now speculating whether this will be the track that Daft Punk perform at the MTV Video Music Awards this month. The pair's appearance at the ceremony came after they cancelled their appearance on US TV show The Colbert Report at the very last minute, much to the annoyance of the show's host, Stephen Colbert.

Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem Christo cancelled their appearance on The Colbert Report (due to take place this week), due to a contractual clash and prior agreement with MTV to appear at this month's awards show.

The host referred to the duo as 'click and clack' on his show, before revealing their no-show was as much as surprise to him as his viewers. "No one told me until two hours ago," he said on air.

"Apparently, Daft Punk are going to make a surprise appearance on the MTV Video Music Awards," he added. "Don't tell anyone."
