The Pirates and Primanti Brothers won’t be the only major attractions in Pittsburgh this September.
On Aug. 7-8, the first-ever Sudden Little Thrills Festival swoops into the city’s two-acre park Hazelwood Green for two days of rock, R&B, pop, Hip-Hop and a few mashups from hometown favorite Girl Talk.
Headliners atop the inaugural bill include rockin’ 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’ll be joined by Lupe Fiasco, Royel Otis, Omar Apollo, Ethel Cain and Juvenile.
In total, 32 acts are scheduled to entertain at the multi-genre extravaganza; they’ll also have “unique artwork, local eats & more,” according to the festival’s Instagram.
