Two separate people are confirming this on a GnR-forum. One has already claimed an Italian date (firenze rocks festival) for a long time.

That's a fake man

All the other bandnames (even Judas Priest, a headliner) were in yellow and not one bandname overlapped with the Graspop Skull like the Aerosmith logo.

Nice try though

[demontje]

Judas Priest has a yellow logo at the moment... Iron Maiden is announced in red, it could be...

[Kusy]

aero annoucement in Poland tomorrow soooo...  12.07 Krakow

[LovelessNL]

Aerosmith confirmed. Benelux exclusive.

Different artwork then the 'leaks' though;

Also different artwork as the last headliners (Iron Maiden + Judas Priest).
They used the logo in their own color (Maiden - red, Priest - gold) and the specific date. 
But hey, Aerosmith is a great name for the festival.

Also not Friday but Sunday.

Great name for the festival. Perfect fit. The word is finally out. There have been some changes i reckon, Faith No More on friday seems logic.

For my preference, with 2 Hellfest and 1 Graspop and tons of others, very weak XL edition. Aerosmith are a lazy, boring booking, hated the 5 minutes i caught at HF between Opeth and Wardruna. Hellfest has hands down a much better lineup.

I didn't expect them anymore. A little surprise. Are they the headliner "bigger than usual" you spoke about? Would be sick to still have Faith No More on Sunday to have a huge line-up like Sunday in 2018. But this line-up on Sunday 21 looks already sick, didn't expect a big headliner that day!

I guess we should have something like this now: 

Thursday
MS1: Iron Maiden - Alter Bridge - Airbourne - Danko Jones - TBA - TBA.
MS2 : TBA - TBA - TBA - P.O.D - TBA - TBA.

Friday
MS1: Faith No More - TBA - Steel Panther - TBA - Battle Beast - Heathen.
MS2: Bring Me The Horizon - Powerwolf - BabyMetal - Heaven Shall Burn - Alestorm - TBA.

Saturday
MS1: Judas Priest - TBA - TBA - TBA - Foreigner - TBA.
MS2: KoRn - Disturbed - Mastodon - Down - Of Mice And Men - Powerflo.

Sunday
MS1: Aerosmith - Deep Purple - Killswitch Engage - Sepultura - Thunder - TBA.
MS2: The Offspring - Deftones - Body Count - Suicidal Tendencies - Frank Carter - TBA.

can't deny that aerosmith are a very big band though.

[LovelessNL]

Word is they are stil looking for something spectular for the friday. If that fails it might just be something like Faith No More. But otherwise they are aiming for something like AC/DC or GnR.

would love for this to be true but sadly graspop doesn't book that much belgian bands. Would love the tradition of having at least one belgian band on one of the mainstages per day but I doubt it.

I think that Bring Me The Horizon will be at Pukkelpop 2020

On the graspopforum of Festileaks, there is an unlikely story that Werchter has outbid GMM for SOAD, but has not concluded an exclusivity contract. According to an insider, GMM is still trying to get SOAD ...

Nope, in Belgium we call this ‘kwatsh’...

unbelievable, you can believe what you want, it is the same booker for both festivals, the finances of graSpop are under control by live nation
