The popular festival is returning to Stradbally this August.
A Laois councillor says she doesn't trust the organisers of Electric Picnic.
Aisling Moran is questioning the transparency surrounding the attendance figures given by Live Nation, which also operates the largest seller of tickets, Ticketmaster.
She wants the local authority to have more involvement in the oversight and licencing process for the festival.
Councillor Moran says she doesn't believe the organisers have local interests at heart:
