Apparently Fidel is more of a Beatle’s fan, but on Friday, March 25 The Rolling Stones will be playing their first-ever gig in Cuba, and, as the Associated Press reports, they’ll be the biggest act to play the island since its revolution in 1959.

The historic free “Concert for Amity” will occur days after President Barack Obama’s first trip to Cuba and will be filmed for future release.

“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” The Stones said in a statement.
