I need to clean up my data, but I do not know how to. I want to remove all the + signs, I realise that is probably simple, but I couldnt figure out how to replace a sybmbol with whitespace!

This is an example of the data I need to clean :

<Alan+Braxe+at+The+Hoxton+on+6+July+2012> <0000 2012-07-06T22:00:00Z 2012-07-06T23:59:59Z> <The+Hoxton> <Pop+Kult!+%23009> <0000 2012-07-06T22:00:00Z 2012-07-06T23:59:59Z> <Gladstone+Hotel> <Dimitri+Vegas+-+Like+Mike+at+Maison+Mercer+on+6+July+2012> <0000 2012-07-06T22:00:00Z 2012-07-06T23:59:59Z> <Maison+Mercer> <Aesthetic+Perfection+at+Neu-ral+on+7+July+2012> <0000 2012-07-07T00:00:00Z 2012-07-07T23:59:59Z> <Neu%252Bral> <K.Flay+at+Wrongbar+on+7+July+2012> <0000 2012-07-07T19:00:00Z 2012-07-07T23:59:59Z>
