Wee Waa is now on the international map after a French music duo chose the town, famous for its cotton, as the site for the worldwide launch of its latest album.

All 4,000 tickets to Daft Punk's global album launch on May 17 sold out in 13 minutes on Friday.

The website jammed within minutes, after receiving 145,000 hits.

The album will be played via live streaming to a worldwide audience during the annual Wee Waa Show at the Wee Waa Showground.

Sony Music approached local authorities weeks ago about holding the international launch in the rural town, with a population of 2,000.

The Wee Waa Chamber of Commerce says it's going to be a mammoth task to host the global launch.

Chamber President, Ann-Maree Galagher, says she hopes locals will be involved with the provision of services.

"We would like them to use the local businesses," she said.

"[They'll have to] discuss have they got the capabilities; will they be able to do what they're looking for," she said.

Ann-Maree Galagher says shops in town are also looking at the preparations they will need to undertake.

"Food, drink [and] fuel, like how much of that will we need to have available," she said.

"There's been lots of questions asked of me that I really can't answer until you get some feedback from others and some suggestions; I hope that'll happen at the meeting on Friday."

Meantime, the Minister for Western New South Wales and member for Barwon, Kevin Humphries, says he'll be attending Daft Punk's global album launch in Wee Waa, even though the French music duo won't be there.

A tongue-in-cheek Mr Humphries says it would be fair to say the Wee Waa community is wondering just what to make of the whole thing.

"Rumour has it that [Narrabri] Mayor, Conrad Bolton, will be dressing up in the space suit and helmet outfit, so I'd just go along to see that I've got to say," he said.

"Seriously, it's great for Wee Waa [but] I think they thought it was a bit of a practical joke when they first heard about it."

Kevin Humphries says he is very confident Wee Waa is up to the challenge of hosting the album launch.

"The Wee Waa Show is usually one of those family fun-type shows and, I can tell you, they will have more people there than they've probably had for the last 10 or 20 years," he said.

"So, that means there's going to need to be a lot of logistic support, but I think the Wee Waa locals are embracing of the concept."
