PITTSBURGH ― Area music fans won't get Sudden Little Thrills after all.

The planned two-day Pittsburgh music festival Sept. 7-8 in Pittsburgh's Hazelwood Green neighborhood, promising The Killers, SZA, Crowded House and a birthday set by Wiz Khalifa among other famed acts, has been canceled.

Sudden Little Thrills organizers gave no formal reason.

"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," the festival website announced Tuesday.

Brandon Flowers and The Killers won't play Pittsburgh this September after all, now that the Sudden Little Thrills festival was canceled.
