Sudden Little Thrills music festival canceled

The Sudden Little Thrills music festival, which was slated to take place Sept. 7 and 8 at Pittsburgh’s Hazelwood Green, has been canceled.

“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,” reads a statement on the festival’s website.

“Tickets purchased directly through Front Gate Tickets will be automatically refunded in as little as 30 days to the original method of payment,” the statement continued.

The festival was being produced by C3 Presents, the producers of internationally known festivals like Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo. The Killers, SZA, Wiz Khalifa and a wide variety of other musical acts were advertised as performers.

The festival appears to have deleted all posts from its social media channels.

“We’re disappointed in the news surrounding Sudden Little Thrills, and our team is in close communication with event organizers to discuss future opportunities for Pittsburgh. Despite this cancellation, Pittsburgh still has a strong line-up of summer concerts, music festivals and events on the docket for 2024,” said Emily Hatfield, director of communications and public affairs for Visit Pittsburgh.

Acts on the Pittsburgh-area concert calendar for this summer include Kenny Chesney, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hozier, Jennifer Lopez and Bruce Springsteen.
