These phrases sound OK?
Paul McCartney is coming back to Japan for his “Out There Tour” again in the next month. As I could get an excellent seat luckily, I would like to make sign boards, and as a non-native speaker, am wondering if the messages below sound fine or not:
1) Honored To Be “Out There” Again!
(I would like to express our gratitude for his prompt return to Japan, using the term “Out There,” the title of his current tour. It is better to say “Honored to Be Your Out There Again?)
2) Itching for “Take It Away”!
(I thought this could have double meanings. For one thing, I would very much like to listen to his song titled “Take It Away, ” and for the other, as literally expressed, waiting his show to begin. Is it OK to use “itching for” in such a case?)
3) Please Please Wings Fans!
(I would want Wings music to be played, and expressed it in a way like ”Please Please Me,” the Beatles’ song.)
4) Wings Fans Rocking!
(When he plays Wings music)
I would appreciate your kind assistance and suggestions.

All except #2 are fine (but not your alternative #1). For #2 I suggest perhaps 'Raring to / Hoping for / Yearning for "Take It Away"'.
