The Cure have just wrapped up their three-night stand at the legendary Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, performing a wide variety of hits, deep cuts and tracks expected to appear on their next album Songs of a Lost World — including one they played for the first time.
Music photographer Kevin Estrada, fresh off chronicling Love and Rockets’ live return at the Cruel World festival, documented The Cure’s second Hollywood Bowl concert, on Wednesday, May 24 (here’s the setlist), and has shared this gallery of fantastic images with Slicing Up Eyeballs.
Below, check out the photos of The Cure’s Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Roger O’Donnell, Jason Cooper, Reeves Gabrels and Perry Bamonte at the Hollywood Bowl this past week.

Was it just my imagination, or did they never show Robert’s face closeup on the jumbo screens on night 1?
The didn’t on any night. Most of the projections were long shots or wide angles. Occasionally medium shots but really no close ups on any band member.
Yeah, some of the views you described were a bit weird.
Beautiful shots! I was at the 23 show, absolutely fantastic!
Picture #4 – “we toast with bitter dregs…”
Such stunning captures! The mesmerizing energy and passion of The Cure’s performance at the Hollywood Bowl truly shine through in these breathtaking photographs. Each image carries the essence of the band’s unique sound and transports us to the heart of their live experience, beautifully captured by Kevin Estrada.
