Converge will play Jane Doe from beginning to end at Lucidity Festival, a new one day event at the Melbourne Pavilion in Melbourne, Australia on 13 March 2027. Presales open on 19 October through the festival's own site.

The festival bills it as a twenty fifth anniversary set. The album came out in September 2001, so by March the anniversary will have passed, which matters less than the fact that the band almost never commit to the whole of it in one sitting.

Oathbreaker are on the same bill with a performance marking ten years of Rheia, their 2016 album, and The Broderick play a fifteenth anniversary set for Free To Rot, Free Of Sin. Portrayal Of Guilt make their Australian debut and Extortion complete the five names announced so far.

Two album anniversaries and a debut on one afternoon is a programming choice rather than a coincidence: Lucidity is selling the records its audience already owns, played in order, in a room that holds a few thousand people.
