South Floridians tend to complain that they are often overlooked by music tours, but 2008 was definitely a busy and surprising year for the area’s live music scene. Radiohead kicked off their world tour at Cruzan, while Madonna ended the U.S.-leg of Sticky & Sweet tour at Dolphin Stadium. French electro-pop outfit Yelle made its Miami debut, while Ladytron was the last major act to grace the stage at the now-closed Studio A.

Our cameras weren’t at every live show to hit South Florida stages, but here are some of our favorite documented concerts of 2008.
