The Rolling Stones Will Release Live Album, Concert Footage from Their Historic Cuba Performance

Havana Moon – The Rolling Stones Live In Cuba

On 11th November 2016 ‘’Havana Moon’’ by The Rolling Stones on DVD, Blu-ray, DVD+2CD, DVD+3LP, Digital Video, Digital Audio plus a special Deluxe Edition

Good Friday – 25th March 2016 – is a date that will go down in both Cuban and Rock ‘n’ Roll history. The Rolling Stones became the first rock band to play a massive free outdoor concert to hundreds of thousands in Havana. This historic concert was captured by award winning film director Paul Dugdale.

Filmed at the end of the América Latina Olé Tour, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood performed a truly spectacular set to an estimated 1.2 million adoring fans

Political and economic relations between Cuba and the U.S. are in the process of being restored—but don’t forget about musical relations. The Rolling Stones made history by performing an epic, free concert in Havana to 1.2 million people, the biggest show in Cuba on record.

Now The Stones have announced that they’ll release a live album and concert film of the performance, to be titled Havana Moon, It will be available on DVD+2CD, Blu-ray+2CD, and DVD+3LP, as well as a special deluxe edition.

Rock music was blocked from Cuban radio in the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Many commentators viewed The Stones’ concert as an indication of the country’s opening up more, culturally as well as economically. The show was well-timed, occurring just days after President Obama completed his trip as the first American president to visit Cuba in 88 years.

The Rolling Stones‘ historic concert in Cuba on March 25th, 2016, has been commemorated in the new film Havana Moon, heading to theaters for a special one-night engagement later this year.
Directed by Paul Dugdale, whose previous credits include the concert film of the Stones’ 2013 show in Hyde Park, the film is scheduled to arrive in theaters Sept. 23rd. Promising exclusive content that won’t be made available on the home version, Havana Moon‘s theatrical screening is hosted by Musicscreen, who’ve pledged to put the movie in more than a thousand theaters worldwide. “The Havana Moon cinema experience immerses the audience in fantastic surround sound with super high definition visuals,” said CEO David Pope in a press release. “It’s the closest you’ll get to being there .

Fans can find screenings and purchase tickets starting in early August through the film’s official site, where a theatrical trailer is set to debut soon. Details of the film’s contents haven’t been made available, but in addition to the band’s hits-laden set, filmgoers can presumably expect to see some of the excitement surrounding the show, which marked the first time a rock act had booked a free show of this size and stature.
“The Cuba show was simply amazing,” Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger recalled in a statement. “It was an incredible moment; a huge sea of people for as far as the eye could see. You could feel the buzz of the enthusiasm from the crowd and that was for me the stand-out moment.”
“There’s the sun, the moon, the stars and the Rolling Stones,” added guitarist Keith Richards. “Seeing Cuba finally get the chance to rock out was special — a night to remember in Havana.”
