Lotus exists in generally the same sphere as STS9, Big Gigantic, GriZ, which are all kind of the "electronic" side of the festival jam band scene. The "organic" side of that is generally made up of bluegrass and classical jam bands like String Cheese Incident, Phish, and Umphreys McGee. Lets just say I went to a Lotus concert once and saw a lot of tie dye and flat-brim hats. If you're looking for more like that, try finding an Electric Forest lineup from the last 5 years or so. Hopefully that helps.
Absolutely, the whole jamband genre was something I was into before I ever heard lotus, and they've been a great intro into the more electronic side of things. Umphreys is also great at blending electronica type stuff with more traditional rock/metal sounds
