Prince is due to play two consecutive concerts on July 18, the closing night of the lakeside festival.
The multiple Grammy award and Oscar winner's appearance at Montreux was only announced on Friday, the opening night, following weeks of rumours.
Two years ago, 4,500 Prince tickets were sold in 10 minutes, then a record for the western Swiss festival which is commonly nine-tenths booked by the time it starts each summer.
The 95 paying concerts over the next two weeks include Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock, Black Eyed Peas, Alice Cooper, Steve Winwood, Monty Alexander, Lily Allen, Wyclef Jean, Marianne Faithfull, John Fogerty, Grace Jones and B.B. King among an eclectic host of top billings.
