The Pirates and Primanti Brothers won't be the only major attractions in Pittsburgh this September.
From August 7-8, the first-ever Sudden Little Thrills Festival moves to the city's two-acre Hazelwood Green Park for two days of rock, R&B, pop, hip-hop and a few mash-ups from hometown favorite Girl Talk.
Headliners at the top of the opening bill include rockers 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, Ruel Otis, Omar Apollo, Ethel Cain and Jovenel.
In total, 32 works are scheduled to be performed at this multi-genre concert; They will also have “unique artwork, local cuisine and more,” according to the festival Instagram.
