"We have performed in many special places during our long career, but this show in Havana will be a milestone for us, and, we hope, for all our friends in Cuba, too," the band said in a statement.
The concert, which will be held at the Ciudad Deportivo, follows another historic occasion: US President Barack Obama`s visit to the island after decades of frozen relations between Washington and Havana. Obama said the event was the symbolic end of the Cold War, an ideological conflict between capitalist and communist governments that began soon after the end of World War II.
For decades following the Cuban Revolution, ordinary citizens could only listen to rock acts like the Rolling Stones in secret, as their music was banned from the radio.
The concert follows performances in Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina and Mexico.
