Police have since arrested a man on suspicion of murder.
He has been taken into custody where he remains.
A large police cordon is currently in place outside the Printworks as police carry out their investigations.
The force say they are "following up a number of lines of enquiry."
Numerous police vehicles, ambulances, and an air ambulance response car were seen parked near the scene this evening.
Part of Dantzic street outside the entertainment venue has been completely sealed off by police.
Detectives are calling for anyone in the 'busy area' at the time who may have witnessed something to come forward.
Superintendent Dave Kehoe, from GMP's Serious Crime Division, said: "This was a tragic incident where a 60-year-old has lost his life and our thoughts are with his family and friends who are understandably devastated.
"A cordon is in place and officers are currently at the scene whilst we piece together exactly what happened and who was involved.
"The area was very busy at the time and a number of people may have seen what happened. Even the smallest information could assist with our investigation."
