Sure, the Taylor / King hookup seems like a natural. Both artists began achieving solo success in the early 1970s and share a fan base.
But some co-headlines aren’t that obvious. The pairing of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss was pure genius resulting in a hit album and tour, but we’ll bet you never saw that coming until the collaboration was announced.

So which two artists would you like to see headlining a stage? Would you combine them for styles that complement each other, or would you seek to create a contrasting co-bill? The choices are almost infinite, but we think you can post a couple of potentially stellar combos in the comment thread below.
