ROBBIE Williams will put his touring career on hold after a farewell gig in Melbourne.
Williams' world tour will end in Australia in December, with Melbourne the last stop.
He will play at Telstra Dome on December 17, with tickets on sale from June 6 at Ticketmaster.
"I'm not going to tour for a long time after this tour," Williams told the Herald Sun.
"For me this tour is a year-long celebration of what I've achieved as a solo artist. It comes in the form of getting on stage in stadiums.
"After that I'll say thank you very much. It's not something I want to do again for a long time."
Williams' 2006 world tour has sold out at stadiums throughout Europe and Britain.
The tour set a world record last year by selling more than 1.6 million tickets in a single day, beating a record held by 'N Sync.
The tour is expected to be seen by 2.5 million people this year.
Australian promoter Michael Chugg said Williams would bring the full overseas production down under.
The show features a stage that snakes into the crowd, bringing Williams close to fans.
Williams' Australian tour starts in Perth on December 1, before moving to outdoor shows in Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane.
Tickets will cost about $149 for gold seats and $99 for silver.
Tickets will be sold in a maximum of six per transaction to prohibit internet scalpers buying in bulk.
The new tour mixes Williams' classics such as Angels, Let Me Entertain You, Rock DJ, Feel and Kids with recent hits Tripping and Sin Sin Sin.
"Some of the other shows I've done I've been running the 1500m, and the 400m and the 100m all at the same time. With this show I just want to relax," Williams said.
Williams is recording a new dance album, due for release in September. '
