The Rolling Stones: Havana Moon

Havana Moon is a concert film by the Rolling Stones, directed by Paul Dugdale. Havana Moon was filmed on 25 March 2016 in Havana, Cuba. The film records a free outdoor concert by the band at the Ciudad Deportiva de la Habana sports complex, which was attended by an estimated 500,000 concert-goers. The concert marked the first time a rock band had performed in Cuba to such a large crowd, breaking the previous record of the Italian singer Zucchero Fornaciari, who performed to a crowd of nearly 70,000 goers in 2012. After a one night premiere on 23 September, the film was released in multiple formats on 11 November 2016.

When the news that sitting United States president, Barack Obama was to visit Cuba—the first time a sitting president had visited the island nation in 88 years—the concert was rescheduled from 20 March to 25 March. The performance and film received critical acclaim, and was immediately noted as an important moment in Cuban music history.
