Retro C Trop Music Festival is hosted in the commune of Tilloloy in northern France, typically showcasing a lineup of established rock and retro musical acts. The 2026 event was scheduled for late June, but organizers were forced to cancel the final day of the program on Sunday, June 28, following a severe weather incident.

A violent storm and tornado struck the festival grounds on Saturday night, leading to a last-minute evacuation. The extreme weather caused extensive damage to public reception facilities and stage infrastructure. Organizers stated that the decision to cancel was necessary to ensure the safety of the public, artists, and technical teams.

Notable performers impacted by the cancellation or the storm damage included the B-52s, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and Europe. Reports indicated that falling scaffolding damaged band equipment during the whirlwind, which B-52s frontman Fred Schneider described as a significant disaster for the production.
