Mike DeBonis at City Desk received a note over the transom with details about the Mayor’s on-again inaugural concert, and now it’s confirmed. The Mayor is hosting an early party (doors at 7 p.m.) at the 9:30 Club on Sunday night featuring Fall Out Boy, T.I., and Young Jeezy.

DCist told you Wednesday that the Mayor’s office was not hosting the D.C. Armory inaugural bash that the Washington Post’s David Nakumara slugged in December.

A 9:30 Club representative told DCist that tickets to the Mayor’s concert aren’t available to the public. Even before the venue was finalized, Fenty’s inaugural concert was billed as a fundraiser for D.C. public schools. Now, it’s a “private benefit for the D.C. Public Education Fund.” Anyone out there know how to nab some tickets?

Those of you with an in for Sunday’s show might be bummed to hear that Fenty didn’t nab Kanye or Mary J. Blige. Look at it this way. Performers like Jay-Z and Arcade Fire (who are playing at another inaugural ball this week) are not paid for their inauguration performances. They’re in it for Obama or the love of the game. As many members as Arcade Fire has, they can probably leave a violinist or two at home in fair Montreal and still play a slim but mighty set here in the District Of. Jay-Z can play unplugged. (Hova and Arcade Fire are playing the Obama staff ball.) Kanye, on the other hand, must pay out of pocket to fly down his entire retinue, and as I understand it he can’t operate the Auto Tune without a good dozen hypemen.

You know who’s really feeling the 808s and Heartbreaks? Moby. The 9:30 Club scheduled an inaugural dance party for midnight on Sunday, featuring Moby behind the turntables. But you think there’s going to be anything left of Sunday night after Fall Out Boy Dance-Dances the club to pieces?!
