He said the group's agency was particularly interested in using lasers to light up the park's 1,300-foot rock column at night.

"This being a night skies park and a natural park and a sacred site to 24 different tribes, that would be considered sacrilegious and gets into that 'inappropriate use'," Robinson said. "And that meant maybe we would have to close portions of the main trail to facilitate this kind of stuff."

The group's agency also indicated that it wished to host as many as 50,000 concert-goers.

"I don't know if that's logistically possible given the location of Devils Tower, but given that they won four — maybe five — Grammys, they might have been able to do it," he said. "I'm not sure."

Robinson said as discussions with Daft Punk's agency continued through the end of last year, the agency grew to understand the significance of the site to American Indians and that the proposal was unlikely to be permitted.

Daft Punk is an electronic music duo from France that rose to popularity in the 1990s. At this year's Grammy Awards, the group earned five awards, including record of the year and album of the year.
