Rolling Stones to rock Cuba in historic concert. The Rolling Stones made final preparations for their first ever concert in Havana Friday, with Cubans once banned from even listening to rock 'n roll expected to attend in huge numbers. Although there were no posters or other visible signs of the event around the Cuban capital, which does not allow street advertising, news spread by word of mouth and as many as 500,000 people were forecast to gather in the Ciudad Deportivo sports complex. A stage 80 meters (260 feet) long was erected, flanked by 10 giant video screens in a stadium-level production that is the most advanced Cuba has seen. Fans turning up early in the morning ahead of the gig, due to start at about 8:30 pm (0030 GMT), said the Stones' appearance showed that Cuba is finally reintegrating with the rest of the world after decades of ideological and economic isolation. "I think I'm going to cry," said Miguel Garcia, 62, who had come by bus from Cienfuegos in the south of Cuba and slept on the sports field ahead of the show.
