So Oasis have disappointed their legions of fans by merely reissuing their first three albums instead of reuniting for shows to celebrate the 20th anniversary since their debut album. Still, it does make you feel old when you think about how much time has past since the seminal Definitely Maybe - and how astounding it is that it still holds so much weight after all of these years.

However, the Gallaghers are not alone - there are plenty of massive and essential bands who have birthdays, anniversaries and landmark moments to celebrate this year.

Will Muse do a crazy tour to mark their 20 years as a band? How can Arcade Fire celebrate 10 years of Funeral? Will Franz Ferdinand party for a decade of their debut? How immense will Outkast's summer shows be?

Time will tell, but here are some of the most momentous anniversaries to look out for in 2014.
