- The Beatles/John Lennon: woodstockstories.com presents two scenarios as to why The Beatles did not perform. The first is that promoters contacted John Lennon to discuss a Beatles performance at Woodstock, and Lennon said that the Beatles would not play unless there was also a spot at the festival for Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band, whereupon he was turned down. [26][unreliable source?] The website claims the more likely explanation is that Lennon wanted to play but his entry into the United States from Canada was blocked by President Nixon.[27][28][unreliable source?] The Beatles were in any case on the verge of breaking up. Also, they had not performed any live concerts since August 1966, three full years before the festival (not including their impromptu rooftop concert given on January 30, 1969 a few months before).

To the best of my knowledge he didn't perform at Woodstock. He was on the board for the Monterey Jazz Festival. There was a rumor that the Beatles would play at Monterey. Peter Tork would be charged with letting the crowd know that the Beatles wouldn't be on the stage.
