If you're a Samsung loyalist attending Lollapalooza, then you were in for a treat.

The global technological brand kicked off the 3-day annual weekend by offering festival-goers fun, immersive ways to check out the latest devices. With numerous wireless charging towers to listening stations, guests experienced the newest devices like the Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy Note 4.

With perks like singing karaoke with friends and creating custom designed mobile accessories using the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy owners who downloaded the Samsung Milk Music app received a complimentary voucher for food trucks with chances to win Lollapalooza tickets, devices and accessories.
