The Rolling Stones to play free concert in Cuba
"CONCERT FOR AMITY"

The Rolling Stones will perform a groundbreaking concert in Havana, Cuba
on March 25, 2016. The free concert will take place at the Ciudad
Deportiva de la Habana and will be the first open air concert in the
country by a British Rock Band. Always exploring new horizons and true
pioneers of rock, the Stones, who have toured every corner of the globe,
will bring their high octane performance and incredible music catalogue
to the Caribbean for the first time ever.

This once-in-a-lifetime concert event follows the band's America Latina
Ole tour, which is currently receiving rave reviews, playing to huge
audiences in stadiums in Santiago, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Rio De
Janeiro, São Paulo and Porto Alegre with Lima, Bogotá and Mexico City
following next week.

The band are also leading a musician to musician initiative in which
much needed musical instruments and equipment are being donated by
major suppliers for the benefit of Cuban musicians of all genres. Donors
include Gibson, Vic Firth, RS Berkeley, Pearl, Zildjian, Gretsch, Latin
Percussion,Roland and BOSS with additional assistance from the Latin
GRAMMY Cultural Foundation.

The Rolling Stones said "We have performed in many special places during
our long career but this show in Havana is going to be a landmark event
for us, and, we hope, for all our friends in Cuba too."

This historical concert will no doubt have Mick Jagger, Keith Richards,
Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood mesmerizing a new audience of fans with a
set packed full of classic Stones hits as well as special gems from
their million selling albums.

The Rolling Stones concert, which has been in the planning stages for
several months comes only days after President Barack Obama's recently
announced visit to Cuba.

This entire event is being made possible by the benefaction of Fundashon
Bon Intenshon on behalf of the island of Curaçao. Fundashon Bon
Intenshon initiates and supports international charitable projects in
the fields of education, athletics, cultural literacy, healthcare and
tourism as well as other attempts to mitigate the impact of general poverty.

It is being promoted by AEG's Concerts West and Musica Punto Zero who
extend their gratitude for the support provided by the Institute of
Cuban Music in bringing this event to the people of Cuba.

The concert will be filmed and produced by award winning production JA
Digital with Paul Dugdale directing and Simon Fisher and Sam Bridger as
producers. Julie Jakobek of JA Digital said : "It's a great honour to be
working with the Rolling Stones again on this hugely exciting and
historic event".
