Despite efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later, West Midlands Police said.

“This was a young man enjoying himself with friends on a Boxing Day night out,” Det Insp Michelle Thurgood said.

The incident happened during a Boxing Day event featuring well-known techno DJ Marco Carola, that started at 15:00 GMT.

Police believe the victim was approached by a group before being stabbed and are urging anyone in the club to get in touch.

“We know there were hundreds of people in the nightclub at the time,” added Ms Thurgood.

“While we’ve spoken to a number of them already, we still need to hear from anyone who was there and who witnessed or even filmed what happened.”

No arrests have been made but the scene remains closed while officers gather evidence and review CCTV footage.
