(Hollywood) Grace Potter and her band The Nocturnals will join Katy Perry, Keri Hilson, Sugarland, Nicki Minaj and Paramore for VH1's "Divas Salute The Troops" special.

Presented by the USO, and drawing from the tone of the original USO shows, the special will see Potter and the other female-fronted superstars bringing the iconic event to America's troops and their families using Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar in San Diego as home base. More info can be found at Divas.vh1.com and USO.org. 2010 VH1's "Divas Salute The Troops" airs Sunday, December 5th at 9pm ET/PT.

After a successful string of tour dates with Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, followed by a run with the Avett Brothers, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals will again step into the headlining spot with a North American tour kicking off in Buffalo, NY, on Dec. 8. The band will end the year with their annual holiday shows in their hometown of Burlington, VT (tour dates listed below).

VH1 has also named GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS their next "You Oughta Know" artist. The highly acclaimed franchise has helped break artists such as Amy Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae, Feist, Sara Bareilles and Duffy, to name but a few. GPN join an impressive list of artists that have recently been singled out by the program, including Bruno Mars and Mumford & Sons.
