The Carrie Furnace site, former home of the iconic U.S. Steel Homestead Steel Works, has hosted concerts such as 2016's Thrival, a music festival that included famed acts like Wiz Khalifa and The Chainsmokers.

Standing as a testament to Pittsburgh's industrial prowess in the 20th century, "this unique setting adds a distinctive touch to the festival's decade-long legacy," a Four Chords Music Festival press release said.

The festival previously took place at Wild Things Park in Washington County and Highmark Stadium in Pittsburgh.

Festival founder Rishi Bahlsaid, "Ten years is a long time. Most things that you were into 10 years ago have not survived, so to reach the 10th anniversary of Four Chord Music Fest is something we are very proud of. We really tried to make this one the biggest and best one yet and are stoked to spend the weekend with all of you at our brand new, historical landmark of a location, The Carrie Furnace. Get out the sunscreen and bring the Advil, it is going to be a party."
