You will be missing in this list the main guests announced months ago, Benjamin Wallfisch and Clint Mansell, and pending official confirmation by the organization, seeing they’re not announced as participants in the programs of concerts dedicated to their music (as you will see below), we have to think that they have been forced to cancel their assistance.
Here you have the full list of concerts and their planned programs:
