The people were all attending the Warehouse Project on Trafford Wharf Road
Police are investigating whether a "bad batch of drugs" caused the death of a man who collapsed at Manchester's Warehouse Project.
Officers were called to Manchester Royal Infirmary in the early hours following the death of the 30-year-old.
Five other people attending the Trafford Wharf Road venue were taken to hospital after taking a drug, thought to be ecstasy, police said.
They are currently being assessed and treated by hospital staff.
Det Insp Aaron Duggan said: "We have now launched an investigation to establish the circumstances leading up to his death.
"It is possible that there may be a particularly bad batch of drugs out there in the community and that is a concern to us.
"If you attended the Warehouse Project last night and are feeling unwell, I would ask you to go to hospital for a check up as soon as possible."

Uk related deaths in 1 year;
Cocaine-214
Canabis-1
LSD-0
Ketamine-1
Amphetamine-35
Heroin-700
Ecstacy-27
Tobacco-114,000
Alcohol-40,000.
Guess which two are perfectly legal ???
responsible for 2,065 uk deaths per day between them
Plus 2000 people a year die from over the counter NSAIDs. The demonisation of street drugs especially is actually insane. Obviously people need to be a little smart but most are safer than ibuprofen.
Wonder if DL up there think it's ok for people to feel sympathy for people that died abusing prescription drugs they were legally prescribed.
