We have performed at the Spitfire & Hurricane Museum in Manston, Kent CT12 5DF  on VJ Day 2025. The day's commerative and remembrance events included two performances by the Kentones at 1130am and 130pm and we were in our Home Guard costumes. 

We celebrated our 50th Anniversary Concert on 18 October 2025.  It was at St John's Church, Sidcup DA14 6BX and we were joined by a Barbershop Ladies Choir, Velvet Harmony and a prize-winning quartet, Setting Sons.  Additionally, a talented group of singers from the highly regarded Itali Conti Academy in Chislehurst were also with us.

The Kentones have also participated in the annual Barbershop Convention for many years and were at this year's Convention.  The 2026 Convention, Sing2026, is a flagship event organised by BABS, the British Association of Barbershop Singers (the largest association outside North America) was held at the Harrogate Convention Centre on 23 & 24 May 2026. The 2027 Convention will be held in Brighton.
