[[Juno Reactor]], [[Prem Joshua]], [[Hilight Tribe]] and others were among the line upperformers forat the event. Prem Joshua never made it to the island, and many of the artists who were present didn't get the chance to play, due to the lack of equipment, power, staff and space for the planned second stage.<ref name="St Mary’s Island turns ‘hippy land’">{{cite news|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/224640/st-marys-island-turns-hippy.html|title=St Mary’s Island turns ‘hippy land’|date=Feb 4, 2012|publisher=Deccan Herald|accessdate=12 February 2012|___location=Udupi, }}</ref> The event kicked off with a local band from Udupi playing traditional Karnatican folk music, and ended with a local drumming group, with a range of musical styles covered during the festival.

There were many problems with the organisation of Spring Zouk on the logistical side of things, this left many party goers feeling frustrated, especially when they were left on an island with nothing to eat or drink. Aside from the hicups in the running of the festival, the bands that played were on top form, and much fun was had!
