Arcade Fire is known to be a band with many faces, usually with papier-mâché bobble heads of their own or other known faces such as President Barack Obama. However last Sunday at Coachella, the band brought out masked duo known as Daft Punk.

For random artist guest surprises, Daft Punk is top of the line, so one can only imagine how crazy the fans went when the helmeted French men walked onto the stage and performed a slow version of "Get Lucky." 

Arcade Fire sure has an interesting sense of humor, because it wasn't the real Daft Punk. Looking a little more closely at the men, whose sizes did not match the true men of the DJ duo and there was no actual button-pushing on the tables. Of course maybe the audience should have made their apprehensions when Win Butler announced the pair as "Phat Dunk" or "Paft Dunk," according to the Huffington Post. 

Neither artists' reps have confirmed the joke, but if one thing's or sure, Arcade Fire Daft Punk'd the fans at Coachella.
