Comedy Central’s air date of the concert coincides with the 25th anniversary of South Park’s first ever episode on the channel, with the show’s premiere airing August 13 in 1997.

In a joint statement announcing the concert, Parker and Stone said: “We’re so excited to go home and play at Red Rocks, a place that’s been known for hosting the most legendary artists and musicians. Until now.”

Primus frontman and bassist Les Claypool penned and recorded the classic South Park theme tune, while Ween contributed a track called ‘The Rainbow’. Both bands made guest appearances in the season two episode, ‘Chef Aid’, which aired in 1998.

Earlier this month, South Park released their fourth made-for-TV film titled The Streaming Wars Part 2. The special follows The Streaming Wars and last year’s two specials, South Park: Post Covid and South Park: Post Covid: The Return Of Covid.

The show also returned to a weekly episode format for season 25 earlier this year. A release date for the next season has yet to be announced.
