Brian Stanley is fearful that it will lead to a surge in cases of the delta variant.
A midlands TD says he's not convinced it's safe to hold this year's Electric Picnic.
Organisers Festival Republic are confident it will go ahead this September, after pushing the event out by three weeks.
But Laois-Offaly Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley is fearful of the festival leading to a surge in coronavirus cases locally and in Ireland as a whole, and the threat of the Delta variant spreading.
He says the possibility of cancelling this year's event should be considered:
