If you thought that a new season on Comedy Central and the start of a series of special mini-films on Paramount+ was the intent to which the 25th anniversary of South Park was going to be celebrated, you really don't know franchise creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone very well. Earlier tonight, we learned that Parker, Stone, and the cable channel will be celebrating 25 years of the long-running animated series with a concert at the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre in Colorado. Taking place on August 10, the event will feature Parker & Stone as well as Primus and Ween and include fan-favorite numbers from the series' run. "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," said Stone and Parker in a statement.
