The South Park: The 25th Anniversary Concert was a live concert of South Park celebrating the series' 25th anniversary with live original music and songs from the show, held on August 9th and 10th, 2022 (four to three days prior to the series' 25th anniversary) at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. The guests and performers featured include Trey Parker, Matt Stone, PRIMUS, and Ween.[1] Along with Rush being a special guest on the second night. Presented by Comedy Central, AEG, and Tegridy Farms.

It was first announced on March 16, 2022, during the premiere of the season finale of Season 25.[2] While the date of the concert was initially set as August 10, 2022, it was later expanded for a second night due to popular demand, going on August 9, 2022.[3] The wholesale of the tickets was sold on both days of the concert.

During the concert, the shipping container of South Park: The 25th Anniversary Experience stayed at the tailgate of Red Rocks, being an exhibit of photo-ops and selling merch of the series and limited edition merch of the anniversary. The broadcast version used film from both nights of the concert and aired on Comedy Central on August 13, 2022, at 10pm ET/PT and was later made available to stream on August 14, 2022, on Paramount Plus. As of August 26, 2022, the concert is also available on YouTube.[4]

Official Spotify and Apple Music playlists with 22 songs of the setlist have released on September 25 and 29, 2022.[5] [6]

Synopsis[]

After Ween and Primus open the concert with a few songs, a "Fantasmic" intro opens with Cartman saying magic is a thought, a vision, and a feeling deep inside the audience. And at times, magic is inside the wonder of a little boy. Butters appears and greets the audience, and Cartman asks Butters to follow him where is he looking. Stan and Kenny arrive after and they see that Cartman is above the amphitheater on the rocks on display to the concert. Kyle joins in and all of the boys walk up to Cartman and gaze upon the audience, asking themselves where are they. Stan then finally appears up and knows where they are... home.
