In total, the singer will perform 29 shows in 18 different countries – and the tickets are going up for grabs on 11 November.
Asked about his rider at Monday's press conference, Robbie replied: "It just says no carbs, so pigs, cows, almonds, coconut milk - if I'm being daring lots of water, keep my hydrated."
He also spoke in praise of his support act, synthopop duo Erasure. "Big fan of them when I was a kid, big fan of them now," he said. "They've got a huge amount of hits, they're perfect for my show."
Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Friday 11 November
The big announcement comes weeks after it was revealed that Robbie was announced as the third recipient of the prestigious Brit's Icon Awards – following in the footsteps of David Bowie and Elton John.
In celebration of the news, the star will perform a special one-off show on Monday evening at London's Troxy, where he will play his biggest hits, along with tracks from his new album, The Heavy Entertainment Show.
"It's a real honour for me to be given this award, and I can't wait to play songs from my new album, and from my catalogue, at the Troxy on 7 November," Robbie said. "The Brit Awards are very special to me, and I'm humbled to be receiving the 18th of my career."
