After Obama visit, the Rolling Stones take over Cuba

By Lucky Malicay 35 mins ago .

The legendary band from London is set to perform a free concert in Havana on March 25, a first for any major international rock band in the communist Caribbean state.

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts arrived in Havana on March 22, promising a “historic” performance on Friday.

“We are so excited to be coming to play for you. We’ve performed in many incredible places, but this concert in Havana is going to be a historic event for us. We hope it will be for you too. Thank you for welcoming us to your beautiful country,” the band said in a short promotional clip posted on the government-owned cubainformacion.tv website.

At least 500,000 people are expected to flock to Havana’s Cuidad Deportiva sports complex to witness rock n’ roll’s most enduring statesmen strut their stuff in an open air concert.
