Det Insp Michelle Thurgood, leading the investigation, said: “This was a young man enjoying himself with friends on a Boxing Day night out and our thoughts are with his friends and family today.
“We know there were hundreds of people in the nightclub at the time. 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.
“We believe that the victim was approached by a group of people, and was then stabbed, so we’re working hard to identify all of those involved.”
Detectives are viewing CCTV from the nightclub and urge anyone who was in the area to get in touch.
Anyone with information has been asked to get in touch via Live Chat, quoting log 3792 of 26 December.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
