Chip Monck (born Edward Herbert Beresford Monck on March 5, 1939 in Wellesley, Massachusetts) became famous to the public as the MC (master of ceremonies) of the 1969 Woodstock Festival and other events. He can be heard (and seen) in recordings of Woodstock making the stage announcements. But he had long been a well-regarded industry figure.

Besides his public role as MC, Mr. Monck designed the stage lighting for Woodstock. His immense résumé includes the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival, a number of 1970s The Rolling Stones tours, construction of both Fillmore West in San Francisco and Fillmore East in New York, and a Tony Award nomination for the New York premier of The Rocky Horror Show. Mr. Monck is also renowned for his cheerful grace under pressure.[citation needed]

As of 2008, Monck resides in Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia[citation needed] and continues in the same line of work.

In 2011, he has a new rock vintage project. He is the Director of Production of the One Great Night On Earth[1] Festival. This event will raise funds to help regional Australians whose lives and livelihoods have been devastated by environmental disaster.
