Daft Punk's last performance was at the Grammys in 2014, when the duo won the most prestigious award  of Album of the Year and Record of the Year.

Daft Punk will perform at next month's Grammy Awards, organizers announced Tuesday, in the reclusive French electronic duo's first live appearance in three years.

The robot-clad DJs will take the stage at the music industry's gala awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 12 to play with R&B sensation The Weeknd, whose latest album featured collaborations with the duo.

Daft Punk's last performance was at the Grammys in 2014, when the duo won the most prestigious award of Album of the Year and Record of the Year, accepting the prizes in silence while in costume.

The Grammy performance is sure to renew speculation of a larger return of Daft Punk, who have been quiet since the worldwide success of the duo's 2013 album, "Random Access Memories."

The Recording Academy, announcing collaborations for the televised ceremony, said that Anderson .Paak — whose innovative blend of hip-hop, soul and jazz has won him a nomination for Best New Artist — will take the stage with alternative rap pioneers A Tribe Called Quest as well as the Foo Fighters, fronted by Nirvana rocker Dave Grohl.

Country singer Maren Morris, who is also up for Best New Artist, will perform at the Grammys with pop and R&B star Alicia Keys.
