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.
There were five performances during the three-day festival. Each house lasted around 4 hours. Festival goers could buy a full weekend ticket, or for separate houses. The Showground arena, where the performances took place, had 5,850 stand seats, but many others had floor and perimeter standing tickets. A charge of $1 was also allowed for people to enter the Fairgrounds without tickets to the actual arena; consequently, approximately 200,000 were on the festival site over the three days.

“Dont you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because shes tired of liftin that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin him on the sofa so he wont catch cold. Tonight were for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. Were goin to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
