UPDATE: Electric Picnic hopeful vaccination rollout will be complete in enough time to hold event in 2021
However in a statement, it has refuted an Irish Times article published this morning, where it was claimed an organiser said it was intended to go ahead unless told otherwise.
Bosses have said the person is not an organiser of the festival.
The event usually attracts tens of thousands to Stradbally every year.
However Ann Simpson, who manages a Gala shop in the town, thinks 2021 might be a year too early for the full event to go ahead:
"We're hoping that most of the population of Ireland will be vaccinated by June. And I don't know if that's enough time between June and the first week in September, to allow us to see how the vaccination is working. Of course we'd like to see the picnic going ahead, but we'd still, and I would say, a lot of people feel the same way about it."
