Monty Python have revealed their comeback will be on July 1, 2014 at the 02 arena in London.
Directed by Phil McIntyre, it will be the legendary comedy troupe's first new show in three decades.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on November 25.
Eric Idle, Michael Palin, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones chose actor Warwick Davis to host the news conference and began by joking that the show had been awarded to Qatar.
The name labels got a little "confused" Idle said their comeback would centre on the team's "greatest hits" and would also pay tribute to Graham Chapman, the sixth Python member, who died in 1989.
Just a single show was announced and there are no plans so far to extend the run or take the show on tour.
"We just thought it would be fun to do one and see if we were still funny," Idle told reporters.
"That is our intention so far - just to do the O2 and see if we can fill it."
Tickets prices would be priced from £27.50 to £95.
"We're advertising it as only £300 cheaper than the Stones," joked Idle.
(L-R) Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin and John Cleese A statement ahead of the news conference said the show would be the group's "final reunion".
The show will be their first time on stage together since performing at the Hollywood Bowl on September 15, 1980 and 40 years after they last appeared on stage in the UK.
The group's Monty Python's Flying Circus TV show was made between 1969 and 1974 and is widely acknowledged as having revolutionised British comedy.
They have since amassed millions of fans for their anarchic comedy series and films, which also launched their own successful solo careers.
"We quite enjoy getting together to be very silly," Michael Palin told the news conference.
"I didn't think it was possible to be silly over 70 but actually it's easier - and very necessary."
John Cleese added: "We just laugh a lot when we're together and we always have."
