Audioslave's historic performance in front of 50,000 fans in Havana, Cuba will be released on DVD. Dubbed Audioslave Live in Cuba, it is due on October 11. Both a special and regular edition will be released, with the special edition featuring 17 songs from the two-and-a-half-hour show, including renditions of the Soundgarden tunes "Black Hole Sun" and "Outshined." The DVD set also includes two additional discs of bonus material, with a documentary of the band's trip.

Avenged Sevenfold will launch the Cities Of Evil tour on October 7 in San Diego, and it's billed as the band's "biggest live production yet." The tour will showcase many songs from the new album City Of Evil along with older Avenged Sevenfold fan favorites from Waking The Fallen and Sounding The Seventh Trumpet. The tour runs through December 2 in Las Vegas.

The double-disc set was recorded over four nights in the band's hometown back in May. Wilco has a handful of live dates scheduled for the fall, including an opening slot with The Rolling Stones on October 15 in Atlanta. Frontman Jeff Tweedy will also play a few solo shows in November.
On September 20, INXS will reveal their choice for a new lead singer during the finale of the summer TV series, Rock Star: INXS.

Jimi Hendrix's childhood home has been saved from demolition. The building had been at the center of a four-year court battle in Seattle, and had already been moved to a temporary site. Now, it will be permanently moved to a new location near the cemetery where Hendrix is buried. According to BBC News, the James Marshall Hendrix Foundation, along with the City Of Seattle, are planning to renovate the building into a community center which will offer music lessons, practice rooms and a library of musical instruments.
