The Kingsmen Quartet is preparing to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2026 with a series of special projects. Plans include a commemorative album, a documentary, and a tour to mark the milestone.
On September 9, 2025, the group held a historic recording session at Crossroads Studios. Several former members joined the current line-up to contribute to the anniversary album.
Alan Kendall described the atmosphere inside the studio. “We are in the midst of recording what is going to be our 70th anniversary album. Been in Crossroads Studio and have just had a blast singing some brand new songs along with some of the favourite Kingsman hits from years gone by,” he said.
One of the highlights came when past and present members came together to sing. “And one particular moment that I will always cherish, always remember is that we called several former members of the Kingsman. We actually invited all of them, but we got several former members of the Kingsman that were able to be there and we recorded a song together and I cannot wait for everyone to hear it,” Kendall explained.
The album and documentary are set to be released in time for the anniversary year. A tour celebrating the group’s 70-year legacy will take place throughout 2026.
