Major Pittsburgh Music Festival Abruptly Canceled

PITTSBURGH, PA — A two-day music festival slated for Hazelwood Green in September suddenly was canceled Tuesday, the event's organizers announced.

The Killers and SZA were announced as headliners for the festival, from the producers of Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo. Among the nationally known acts that were scheduled to perform were Pittsburgh native Wiz Khalifa, St. Vincent and Crowded House.

No reason was given for the cancellation by the organizers, who previously have produced events such as Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo.

"We were excited to bring a new world-class music festival to Pittsburgh, however, due to circumstances beyond our control, the Sudden Little Thrills Festival will not take place in 2024," said a post on the festival website stated.

"Tickets purchased directly through Front Gate Tickets will be automatically refunded in as little at 30 days to the original method of payment."
