Have You Heard: The Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks, Dave Grohl, Drake, Zayn Malik
A film about The Rolling Stones’ recent trip across Latin America will be premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival Sept. 16 this year.
Director Paul Dugdale documented the experience for the movie “Olé Olé Olé” and a trailer was recently released to hype the masses.
The Stones embarked on a 10-city tour of Latin America earlier this year, which culminated in a landmark performance in Havana, Cuba, March 25. The island nation opened itself to Western cultural influences earlier in the year as restrictions between that country and the U.S. continue to be relaxed under the Obama and Castro administrations.
