SZA and The Killers headline new ‘Sudden Little Thrills Music Festival’ in Pa.

A new music festival is being held this fall in Pittsburgh.

SZA and The Killers will headline the “Sudden Little Thrills Music Festival” being held Sept. 7-8, 2024, at Hazelwood Green.

The musical lineup also features Melanie Martinez, Pittsburgh native Wiz Khalifa, St. Vincent, Omar Apollo, Fletcher, Yung Gravy, Girl Talk and more performing across three stages.

Ticket presales are 10-11 a.m. Thursday, April 18. Fans can sign up to receive a passcode to lowest price for two-day general admission tickets. Prices will increase when general public ticket sales start at 11 a.m. on April 18.

The Killers will headline on Sept. 7. SZA will headline on Sept. 8.

Organizers said the festival also will feature local culture with performances from Pittsburgh artists Feeble Little Horse, Corook, Fedd the God and Krunk and the Center of Life Band, as well as curated local cuisine and spirits. 

A portion of each ticket sold with benefit nonprofit and grassroots organizations within the Hazelwood Community.

“Inspired by Pittsburgh’s arts and culture legacy, the name Sudden Little Thrills embodies the ethos of the festival – to be present and open to sudden moments of fun, joy, and inspiration, and selecting Hazelwood Green as the festival’s home expands on that philosophy.

“The 178-acre vibrant hub is redefining Pittsburgh’s riverfront as a beacon of innovation, creativity, and wellbeing. Hazelwood Green is transforming from a historic industrial brownfield site into a sustainable, equitable, and inclusive new model for urban development with community events and programming, an abundance of green spaces, and miles of publicly accessible bike trails. In partnership with Tishman Speyer, Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotic Innovation Center, University of Pittsburgh’s BioForge, and the Steelers Community Field will reinforce the site as a destination for the future of technology and community engagement,” organizers said.

The festival is produced by the same team behind Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Sea.Hear.Now, Oceans Calling Festival and Railbird.
