Monterey Pop Festival set list

This is a list of the performers at the Monterey Pop Festival, held June 16 to June 18, 1967 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California.[1]

There were five separate shows during the three-day festival (one on Friday night, two on Saturday and two on Sunday), with each performance approximately four hours in duration. Festival attendees could buy a full weekend ticket or tickets for the five separate shows. The showground arena, where the performances took place, had 5,850 seats, but many attendees had floor and perimeter standing tickets, allowing between 7,000 and 10,000 to witness the performances. Tickets were also sold that permitted entry to the fairgrounds without access to the performance arena. Total crowd estimates for the entire festival have ranged from 25,000 to 90,000 people in and around the festival grounds.[2][3][4] All of the artists performed to a packed house, except Ravi Shankar, whose audience was at about 80% capacity following a rainy morning.[5]
