Retro C Trop

A festival born from a passion for rock and vintage

Created in 2015, the Retro C Trop festival quickly established itself as one of the most original musical events in the Hauts-de-France region. Set in the majestic grounds of the Château de Tilloloy, in the heart of the Picardy countryside, it offers a total immersion into the world of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Each edition brings together legendary artists from the international rock and pop scene, cult reunited bands, and musical discoveries, on several stages spread throughout the vast tree-lined park of the castle.

Rock legends on stage

The Retro C Trop festival has managed to attract legendary artists who thrill lovers of rock and retro music. Over the years, prestigious names have graced the stages of the Château de Tilloloy. The 2026 edition, celebrating the festival's 10th anniversary, announces an exceptional lineup with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, The B-52's, Europe, Lenny Kravitz, Squeeze, and many other iconic artists from the international rock scene.

Much more than a music festival

Retro C Trop stands out for its immersive atmosphere that goes far beyond the concerts. The festival offers a true vintage village with merchants of retro clothing and items, vintage car exhibitions, themed entertainment, creative workshops, and food inspired by the rock'n'roll years. Festival-goers are invited to come in costume, creating a unique atmosphere where the past comes back to life. The HEROES showcase also offers a stage to emerging artists, perpetuating the spirit of discovery that drives the festival.

The Château de Tilloloy: a heritage gem

The Château de Tilloloy and its park offer a sumptuous setting for the festival. Located between Roye and Montdidier, accessible from the A1 motorway, this 18th-century estate, partially destroyed during World War I and then restored, combines historical heritage and large green spaces. The stages are harmoniously integrated into the park, offering festival-goers an experience where music, nature, and history combine. The festival thus contributes to the tourist and cultural influence of this rural area of the Somme.
