The Pirates and Primanti Brothers won’t be the only major attractions in Pittsburgh this September.
On August 7 and 8, the first-ever Sudden Little Thrills Festival will take place in the city’s two-acre park, Hazelwood Green, for two days of rock, R&B, pop, hip-hop and a few mashups of favorite Girl Talk from her hometown.
Headliners atop the inaugural bill include rock hitmakers The Killers, R&B royalty SZA, art-pop princess Melanie Martinez, indie icon St. Vincent and hip-hop hero /Pittsburgh native Wiz Khalifa performing a “hometown birthday set.”
They will be joined by Lupe Fiasco, Royel Otis, Omar Apollo, Ethel Cain and Juvenile.
A total of 32 artists are scheduled to entertain during this multi-genre extravaganza; they will also have “unique artwork, local food and more,” according to the festival’s Instagram.
