This concert sounds crazy but good for them.....
Super group Audioslave are set to become the first U.S. rock band to
perform outdoors in Cuba, sharing the stage with their Cuban music
counterparts.

The group, currently touring in support of their upcoming sophomore
release, "Out of Exile," accommodated their touring schedule to be able
to give a special performance May 6 at La Tribuna in Havana, Cuba. The
concert will be free and open to the Cuban public. In the past, the open
air venue has accommodated up to 1 million people.

The performance, the first open air concert by a U.S. rock band in Cuba,
was authorized by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Instituto Cubano
de la Musica. The effort represents an opportunity to share with the
Cuban youth the free expression of music that embodies rock and roll.

"Kids are the same all over the world, and we are extremely proud and
excited to bring rock 'n' roll to the youth of Cuba. It's all about the
music, and free expression of music crosses all barriers. This is a rare
opportunity, and we are grateful and honored to have the support of both
countries," said Audioslave.

The band will be in Havana May 4-7, interacting with the Cuban youth and
the Cuban musical artists. Interscope/Epic as well as Done and Dusted, a
U.K. film production company, are producing the event with the Instituto
Cubano de la Musica.
